Description

"Owen Burnett's needs are small. All he's ever wanted is his wife's affection, his children's health, and a little plot of land to farm. Still, he's no fool. So when his neighbor Gareth Kurst makes him a business proposition, one that could leave him richer than he's ever dreamed, he can't refuse giving the risky scheme a try. Rounding up cattle up in the Texas Hill Country is nothing to take on lightly. Between the Comanches roaming the countryside and the horns of the beasts he's hunting down, Owen knows every second he spends out in the wild puts his life in plenty of danger. But the greatest threat to his person is one he never expected his ruthless and conniving business partner, who has no plans of ever sharing his bounty...."--Page [4] of cover.
