Sick of soldiering, tired of endless cattle drives with no future, Matt Brannigan decides to take his guns and his pay, mount his horse and light a shuck for the Panhandle where he hopes to put together a little herd of cattle and start a new life. In route, hostile Comanches attack Matt nearly killing him. Injured, he collapses into the camp of the beautiful, yet indomitable Christina Murie.
Recently attacked by Comanches and having lost her foreman, Christina is in a fix herself. Yet she takes the time to nurse Matt, a complete stranger, back to health. Wanting to demonstrate his gratitude, Matt offers to help Christina travel to Fort Griffin after her uncle also dies from wounds inflicted by the Indians. But Christina is one strong-willed woman armed with a Spencer rifle and the skill to use it, and she doesn’t welcome help from a no account drifter who’s entirely too cocky for her liking. Soon sparks are flying between them and not just about the best way to reach Fort Griffin.
Forming an uneasy alliance based on necessity, the two head to the fort, intending to go their separate ways again as soon as possible. Christina plans to claim and run the ranch her uncle left her, Matt to build his own ranch in the Northwest. But fate steers a different course for them both, and soon Matt finds himself employed as a foreman for the cantankerous Miss Murie, defending her reputation, her property and her life, while, building the Murie Ranch herd. And in between Matt must save hapless victims from grotesque and gruesome torture and death inflicted by passing war parties; foil the plans of greedy, plotting gamblers and gunfighters and avoid the prosecution by one very unethical would-be lawman--all to save the woman he loves and build a home in the volatile, yet breathtaking Texas frontier.
