1852 Texas

Summer went home to the vast Texas range, hoping to find Sam McLean, the man who had cared for her family long ago. Instead she rode into a future filled with renegade Apaches, a scheming enemy, and Sam's son Slater. Hard and handsome, Slater lived and worked for one thing: to find the outlaw who had killed his father. Summer was a sweet memory from his boyhood; he had told her, Go get all growed up, Summertime girl. Now she had arrived-a beautiful woman. She could bring joy into his life, but a secret long hidden, long feared, imperiled their love.
