"After hard-won years of experience while becoming a man in the western frontier, Clay Bell has decided to put down his roots ranching in order to build a future in Tinkersville. His dream is almost shattered when Jud Devitt comes to town with blind ambition and ruthless determination. Devitt, admired and feared in the east, aims to take Bell's land come hell or high water. As Bell puts up a fight, not only the land is at stake but also the heart of a firey red-head. The last man standing will have it all."
Lucy Johnson, Resident Scholar
