Blake Durant was on his way to an isolated wilderness owned by an old friend, Colonel Howie. But so was a wagon train led by a smooth-talking dude named Mike Stanton. Stanton intended to let his people settle on Howie's land ... land Howie himself guarded jealously. There was sure to be conflict, but somehow Stanton didn't seem to care about that – and Blake Durant couldn't help but wonder why ...
The minute Blake rode in, Stanton sensed that he might be a threat to his plans, so he took steps to remove him by any means possible. What he didn't count on was a one-time soiled dove and her protector, a silent giant of a man who took whatever punishment was meted out to him and still came back for more.
A woman, a man-monster ... and Blake Durant.
Together they made a formidable team!
