Elizabeth “Lizzie” Westford is a determined young widow trying to manage her late husband’s Texas cattle ranch after he is killed by a bull. Then, an old boyhood friend of her husband's arrives. Buford “Buck” Hannigan has always considered himself a wandering soul, with the call of the open wild more attractive than the idea of staying tied down. But the heart of the itinerant former gambler-turned-cowboy--and sometimes preacher--feels a tugging toward Lizzie that neither can deny and he steps up to help the widow. After a quick wedding to prevent talk of impropriety, he learns one of Lizzie’s secrets, and the open road calls to him once again.
