Ben Flood, marshall of the small town of Burnt Rock in post-Civil War Texas, comes face-to-face with an old nemesis when a marauding band of thieves robs the local bank.

Meanwhile Lee, an expert horsewoman, makes her escape and pairs up with Flood on his quest to settle the twenty-year feud.

What he discovers about himself, his faith, and his growing feelings for Lee will delight fans of romance and adventure alike.
