Texas Bound

Cass O'Rourke and Cleve Ritter had been friends and riding partners for years, but the love of a woman changed all that. Now a mission to hunt his friend through the desert was turning out to be a fight for his own life. The two friends were inseparable through cattle drives and ranch riding jobs but from the time that they first saw Deborah Lafferty something changed.

They chummed around as a threesome for a while but Cleve had other ideas and it soon became time for Debra to have to make a choice...and that choice was Cass O'Rourke. The news knocked the wind out of Cleve's sails and he disappeared into the background.

The couple settled down and Cass became the sheriff of the small town of Bascom Mills. The stamp mill was the only one in the area and the proceeds from the mill were closely guarded...that is until Cleve and two other men hit the bank and cleaned it out.

Debra begged Cass not to be the one to go after them but he didn't want anyone else to be the one to bring him in. When he left she was distraught but in her heart, she knew why he was doing it

The desert proved to be his undoing and he ended up fighting for his life. It was not a battle against his friend but a battle against a more formative for...the desert, and it was with the help of his old friend Tonopah Joe that he fought the battle.
