This publication follows the lawman's mantra-if an outlaw goes for its gun it's time to kill or be killed. The hero after years of bounty hunting and being a US Marshal becomes an innovative cattle baron who converts his herd of Texas Longhorns to crossbreeds. Unlike his previous books the heroine now develops two enterprises-chicken farming and writing novels. The story includes plenty of shooting romance restitution and natural comedy. Without a cliff hanger the story flows into a setup for a sequel.
