Tracy Benoit was summoned back to Arizona by Patrick, dying patriarch of the Rancho del Socorro. There, she was drawn to Shea, Patrick’s son, a loner who could not deny his passion for her. As their love grew, Patrick soon died. Now Shea stood against his half-brother, Judd, whose dark desire for Tracy was only surpassed by a boundless greed to sell the ranch for quick profit.
