About This Book
A couple leaves comfortable city life to buy and operate a Western ranch, eager for open country and long rides. Their arrival in a rough frontier town places them among stagecoaches, saloons, timber camps and a boisterous frontier gunman, and draws them into disputes over cattle, horse‑theft and local power. The plot moves between travel and escape sequences, chases along river and badlands, and tense standoffs that culminate in shootouts and reckonings. Interwoven with the action are quieter episodes on the ranch and social encounters in town that explore loyalties, rivalries and a developing romantic thread.
