Tess Hennessy is a rancher's daughter, living in the Rio Grande Valley, in Texas in the year 1880. She is not your traditional young lady who is searching for a husband, but rather her interests lie in being the best photographer she can be and hopefully someday going to New York and becoming famous. But she is suddenly kidnapped by the famous gang leader Delgado and taken to his hideout so she can capture him in pictures, so he will forever be remembered. What Tess doesn't realize is that Delgado's right hand man, Sandoval Parrish, is really a Texas rancher working to bring down Delgado.

I enjoyed the action and adventure of the story, even though you know how it will end. Tess had a lot of determination and spunk, even when she was frightened and scared. It also showed Sandoval, a man torn between his desire for revenge and his growing love for the lady he put in harm's way. ( )
