Publisher's Synopsis
The past is full of painful memory. The future is as bleak as a sun-baked saloon sign above the watering horses.
But Clarence Brant -- and love -- kept him going.
He remembered how he loved his boyhood friend Susy and how he'd been separated from her by an unusual turn of events that had changed his fortunes.
Now he was traveling -- to see Susy . . . and Mrs. Peyton, openly, without the disguise he'd used after the incident at the gold mines.
Mrs. Peyton was beautiful. Susy was charming and spunky. In the dusty wilds of the Old West, Clarence sought them out -- for reasons of which even he was not fully aware.
