Lane McCord was still a die-hard Reb ten years after the Civil War. But when Kimberly Torrey, a beautiful Yankee lady in distress, crossed his path, he was willing to do anything for her. With the help of his Cheyenne friend, Little Smoke, McCord agreed to escort Kimberly to the bandit town of Devil's Gap to save the honor of a man dear to her heart.

A drifter since the war, Lane hoped to start a ranch with the money Kimberly would pay him...if he miraculously escaped death from the dangerous gunmen and angry Comanches on his trail--and from the even more unscrupulous killers ready to tackle him in Devil's Gap. Too bad his chances were zilch.
