Pamela white's father left the ranch to go buy barbed wire and some hired guns to head off a range war that he was sure was coming. Our eastern Pamela was left in charge of the arizona dessert spread until he returned. And sitting on that powder keg was pretty unsettling even for this strong lady because she hated guns and violence. A dusty,disreputable stranger 'walks' in from the dessert in need of help. Pamela and Slade feel an immediate attraction but they are day and night. He clearly has a history with guns andis no man for a lady. He accepts the needed refuge and realizes that there is an undercurrent of danger going on and pamela is in the middle. Slade stays around to help her out.....The book is wonderful. It is clearly a question of can love survive when the personalities are alien to each other. Can a 'worthless' drifter be honorable and a man of integrity..Do we judge characters by appearance...Even early, greenwood defined his wonderful way with story lines and incredibly likeable characters
