A lonely vaquero, a woman who lost her family, and a danger-filled cattle drive from Texas to Montana. Antonio Sanchez is searching for his family. He hasn't heard from them in a long time, and every day that passes his anxiety for their safety grows. As soon as the snow melts he travels from Montana to Texas to see if he can find them. But bands of outlaws, disgruntled townsfolk hankering for blood, violent teamsters, and drunken cowpokes make the journey anything but simple. And then there's Lotte... Lotte Veldon and her husband traveled all the way from Holland to Texas to start a new life as pioneers. But a tragedy leaves her stranded, alone and on the run. When their paths collide on a dusty Texas road, neither of them realize just how much their lives are about to change. When Lotte begs him to let her help find his missing family, he reluctantly agrees, but only until they can find her a more permanent place to stay. Time on the road will fan the flames of affection and put both their lives at risk. Will Antonio find his family? Lotte hopes desperately that he will, but despairs over what will become of her if he does.
