The wild, boundless land of Texas, as fierce and untamed as the passion that flared up in the hearts of young Banner and the lonely cowboy drifter Jake, an old friend of her parents. On the night after her wedding failed because of her fiancé’s betrayal, the girl, consumed by feelings she herself did not understand, came to her faithful friend Jake. She needed his love and tenderness, but she begged for passion, not understanding what devils she was awakening in him. For the mistake of that night they would both pay for a long time with the tormenting misunderstanding that the hatred and enmity between them were caused only by passion and the fear of losing the one they loved.
