Unforgiving Stover Gates, who holds a grudge against the Danmyer family, detests his daughter's choice of a Danmyer man as a husband, but when a swarm of locusts devastates crops all over Kansas, the natural disaster brings out the best in some people and the worst in others, including profiteering and murder

From Booklist:
Marian Cates is the prettiest young woman in the territory. Her father, Stover, is the toughest and most unforgiving man around. Years ago, Stover's brother, Zeb, was killed in a gunfight with Faron Danmyer, prompting a blood feud between the families that continues to rage. When Marian is rescued after an accident by young Jerrod Danmyer and the pair quickly fall in love, the pieces are in place for Romeo and Juliet, western version. Marian and Jerrod, however, must deal not only with feuding families but also with a devastating locust infestation that threatens the survival of all the spreads in the valley. There's also trouble in the form of big eastern money--working through the local corrupt sheriff--forcing the hand of the poorer ranchers. This entertaining variation on the Capulet-Montague theme is enhanced by humor, believable dialogue, and carefully drawn, empathetic characters. Wes Lukowsky
