About this item
Gil Slatter's quick on the draw and has a head for running a ranch, but he's also a lonely man with nothing more than a cot in the bunkhouse at the TXY Ranch to call home. But when the foreman drops dead of a heart attack and the owner picks Gil to take his place, his world turns upside down. One day life is simple. The next he's running the outfit and married to a woman who has never known affection. Between wild horses, outlaws, rustlers, an ambitious young landowner with a mean streak, and the flirtatious wife of the ranch owner, it's no easy task Gil faces. But with his new bride beside him, he'll take the TXY to new heights of success ... or die trying!
