In the desert country where water means survival, cattle baron Jeff Driscoll seizes control of the vital water-hole that keeps the Bar-5 ranch alive—and shoots down the owner's grandfather in the process. When Driscoll's hired guns overpower the ranch hands and threaten to burn Barbara Slade and her family out within the hour, she sends for the one man tough enough to stand against him: the Hawk. It's a desperate siege with bullets flying and the ranch house going up in flames, but Barbara and her unlikely ally are about to show Driscoll what it costs to underestimate a woman fighting for her home.

A tale of unlikely alliance and courage forged in the heat of desert combat, set in 1955.
