While scouting for a cattle drive, Race Spencer comes across the massacre of a wagon train. The only survivor, Rebecca Morgan, is in shock. Learning that she was part of a religious sect who were moving to New Mexico, Race cannot understand the motivation for murdering these people. But when a gang of gunfighters begin following Race and Rebecca, she admits that her family was carrying a lot of money and the gang was searching for the money. Now they must retrieve the money and outrun the outlaws and their guns.

This 378-page historical romance could have easily been cut in half if there wasn't so much description and introspection. We had page after page of description of the heroine's beautiful blonde hair, the never-ending gunfight, and a cattle stampede. I hated Rebecca continually blaming herself for everything that has happened and crying every ten pages. The story itself was okay. It probably would have made a good novella if there hadn't been so much filler. My rating: 2 Stars.
