What made Abigail Fairchild, a young beautiful widow, the owner of a huge ranch in Wyoming, put on breeches, ride a horse and exchange a prosperous, quiet life for the dangerous life of cowboys? Why couldn't Boyd Harris stop her from taking this risky step? What could connect these two people who are so different from each other, especially since the unwritten but cruel laws of these places prohibit any kind of relationship between the owner of the ranch and her worker? Are they really not destined to find peace, tranquility and happiness? On the pages of this novel unfolds a tragic and life-affirming, sad and sparkling with good humor, an unusual love story similar to thousands of others. The outcome of the situation, although successful for the heroes, is not traditional for a Western.
