Columbine was raised on the Colorado range by rancher Bill Belllounds, never knowing she was found as a baby in the wilderness. Now grown, she agrees to marry Jack, Bill's son - a gambler, a drunkard, a coward. She does this out of loyalty to the man who raised her, though her heart belongs to Wilson Moore, the steadfast cowboy who's loved her since childhood. When the Mysterious Rider arrives at the Belllounds ranch - a middle-aged gunfighter called Hell Bent Wade, gentle yet deadly - he sees the injustice unfolding and sets out to correct it. This is Grey at his most romantic and pulpy: a story of discovered identity, love triangles, and the Code of the West where honor matters more than law. For readers who want their Westerns with high stakes and an aching heart.
