When Lew Hobbs rode out of Camp Verde on a hot day in July, his biggest mistake was not continuing on down to Bandera. If he had, he never would have been accused of killing an old rancher down on the Frio and stealing his savings.

As if that wasn't enough to fan the fire, he soon found himself neck deep in Comanches, bushwhackers, and a mama desperate to marry off her two daughters, one who thought herself better that the good Lord; the other, a tomboy who sometimes needed a kick in the rear to get her attention.

But Lew is a survivor, and he has a plan to reclaim his good name and avoid any more trouble... including women.
