A caravan of settlers is moving across the American prairies, towards Texas. Among them are the hot-tempered cowboy Ross and a mysterious girl named Lydia. Ross is sure that meek Lydia used to be a corrupt woman and now carefully hides it. But he, now an inconsolable widower, the father of a child, was not always who he claims to be... When passion suddenly flares up between Ross and Lydia, they avoid talking about the past. This mistake will cost them dearly. A fierce pursuit begins after them, and they will have to fight not only for their good name, but also for their lives. The book was also published under the title “In the Embrace of Sunset.”
