Summary:
The year 1873, Kansas territory:
Courtney and her Step-Mother were stranded in Kansas 4 years earlier after an Indian attack where her father was presumed dead, his body was never found and the other men were brutally killed for their transactions against the Comanche. In that same attack Courtney’s life was spared by one of the fearsome Comanche warriors. Now four years later Courtney is still in Rockley, Kansas working in the local hotel when a disturbing and compelling man comes through town and saves her from a horrible fate. Chandos spared Courtney’s life four years earlier (although she does not know that was him) in his and his fellow warriors attack against the farmer that was participated in raid that left his mother and young sister brutally raped and murdered. Now four years later he is still thinking about his cat eyes when he is compelled to stop through Rockley, Kansas to see if she is still there. Courtney has grown into a beautiful young woman that most of the men of Rockley are pursuing, that same beauty causes Chandos to have to save her once more from a gunslinger who tries to take her. Later that evening Courtney sees a newspaper from Waco, Texas where she sees a picture of her father that she thought was dead. Courtney begs Chandos to take her to Texas, she figures he saved her once so he would be perfect to take her 100’s of miles across hostile territory. Chandos very reluctantly agrees to take her against his better judgment. So begins these two’s journey across 100’s of miles of desert and Indian Territory where they are followed/attacked by bounty hunters, gunslingers, Indians, and wildlife!
