Heading for Broken Bow, Mark Morgan was ready to settle a debt with the business end of a .44. Twenty years earlier, the Burke boys had gunned down his father, seized his land, and built an empire of their own. Now, Morgan wanted what was his. But the Burkes would skin a dog just to hear it howl, and they'd do much worse to a lone gunman firing against them. If Morgan wasn't fast on the draw, all he'd get for his trouble was a quick trip to hell.

For years there have been rumors that a hoard of gold exists, hidden in Cache CaÞon, yet no one has been able to find it, nor has anyone seen the band of Indians said to live there. One day three men decide to try their luck.

The warrior was alone. After a bloody, unthinkable act, he'd been banished from his tribe. Now he was forced to survive in the wilds by himself. If only he at least had a woman ... In a remote valley teeming with wildlife he finds one. Desperate for companionship, regardless of the color of her skin, he takes her. But this woman's already been claimed. And her man, a wildcat named Zach King, won't let her go without a fight-to the death.
