Sam Gentry can't afford to get into trouble, and after the fight of the night before, he figures he'd best get out of town before those wanted posters catch up with him. But he's short on cash. Rusty Ramsey, who also spent the night in jail, offers Sam a job on the B&G Ranch. It sounds like a good idea, until Sam hears who owns the ranch. He's decided to make life a bit difficult for the owner.

Lacey Gentry inherited the B&G from her late Uncle Hob, and although she doesn't know much about ranching, she's willing to learn and doing her best to keep everything together. Five years of back taxes have to be paid up or she'll lose the ranch. Imagine her shock when the new ranch hand walks in to meet her. The husband she believed dead for the last five years is very much alive, and his appearance could destroy her plans to save her ranch. What is Lacey going to do?

Betrayal and abandonment are the key accusations in this story. Things don't look good for Lacey when Sam discovers she has a five year old son. Sam is quick to believe the worst about his wife. But she is still his wife and he's not going to make things easy for her so she can remarry.

Take one dastardly villain, determined to get what he wants, a group of ranch hands loyal to their new owner, and one precocious little boy, who at times is too smart for his own good, and you've got the makings for a fast paced western.

How do you salvage a marriage you thought ended six years before, or do you even try? Who is little Andy's father? What is there about the ranch to make the villain so determined to gain ownership? And to what lengths will he go to gain it?

This third and final edition to The Outlaws series has non stop devious plotting. There are a lot of bad feelings to be shed and new alliances to be forged. Will this be the end of outlawry for the last of the Gentry brothers? You'll have to read Sam's story to find out.
