Accused of stagecoach robbery, Duke Benedict and Hank Brazos had no choice but to run for their lives. It was just plain bad fortune that in so doing they ran smack into a wagon train heading across the desert for a mining town called Tarbuck.
The wagon train was no ordinary outfit. It was made up of forty women, all bound for Tarbuck to meet the men they'd agreed by mail to marry.
Big Rosie Moriarty immediately took a shine to Brazos ... but Benedict's attention was taken by the beautiful Libby Blue.
There was just one problem.
A kill-crazy outlaw called Kain Ketchell had broken out of prison with one goal in mind – to kill Libby, the woman he blamed for his arrest and incarceration. And nobody killed like Ketchell!
