Publisher's Synopsis
We have two cowboys who have gone to the goldfields and had the good fortune to make a bundle from their mine. Dade Hunter is the quieter, steady one; Jack Allen is the firebrand who is always getting into trouble. They decide to spend the winter in a very young and raw San Francisco. Jack loves the gambling life there, but Dade gets tired of it all pretty quickly and rides out exploring, ending up in Palo Alto, where he makes friends with Don Andres, the Spanish owner of a large hacienda. He returns and tries to get Jack to go out to the ranch also, but he refuses. He will soon wish he had not been so stubborn! There was of course a girl involved Teresa, the seventeen-year-old daughter of the Don, spoiled since birth and used to having her own way in everything. She played flirting games, caused more trouble than she was worth, and was responsible for many of the bad feelings between all the men of the story.
