In a time of prosperity and risk on the open frontier, a daring cattleman takes his chances on expanding westward--and on a genteel lady from another world.

Swept up in adventure . . .

With nothing left for him in Texas after his fiancée breaks his heart, Jeb Tuhill heads to Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains to work the huge ranching operation of wealthy English squire Moreton Frewen. In an attempt to lure investors to the beautiful, and oftentimes dangerous, American West, Frewen and Jeb travel to England. The British gentry don't impress Jeb much, but one spirited lady lassoes his attention with her intellect and charm.

Bound together by passion . . .
