Synopsis

As far as the eye can see is a vast, empty horizon. Evie Teale has finally accepted that her husband won’t be coming home. To make ends meet she runs a temporary stage station. But though she is diligent and careful, Evie must prepare for the day when the passengers no longer come and she must protect her children in an untamed country where’s it’s far easier to die than to live.

Miles away, another solitary soul battles for survival. Conagher is a lean, dark-eyed drifter who is not about to let a gang of rustlers push him around. While searching the isolated canyons for missing cattle, he finds notes tied to tumbleweeds rolling with the wind. The bleak, spare words echo Conagher’s own whispered prayers for companionship. Who is this mysterious woman on the other side of the wind? Conagher only hopes he can stay alive long enough to find her.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Conagher was the only man who could teach robbing, rustling Smoke Parnell and his murderous outfit the lesson the whole territory had been too afraid to give them. But when a woman steals his heart, Conagher has some lessons to learn himself.

From the Inside Flap:

In this classic L'Amour adventure, a dark-eyed drifter wages a war against a murderous band of rustlers.
As far as the eye could see was a vast, lonely horizon. And Evie Teale and her two children were all alone here now, alone in an untamed country where the elements, the Indians, and the thieves made it far easier to die than to live. But soon a man named Conagher would drift into her life -- and together they would have the courage to make a stand.
