Wildon Boothe was as innocent as a newborn babe when he lit out for the Arizona frontier. The band-playing military pomp of West Point did nothing to prepare the young shavetail for the man-killing wasteland of Apache Mesa.

They'd sworn to stay hitched until death did them part. But with a marauding gang of renegade bandidos on the loose, it could be that they'd be split up sooner than either of them expected!
