When Jesse Cooper hits town, all the Arizona Ranger cares about is taking back a dangerous outlaw, dead or alive. The last thing he expects is to find himself falling in love. Gabriel is firmly under his father's rule. When wild rumours spread about a stranger in town, Gabriel thinks little of it, until he meets Jesse.  To Jesse, Gabriel is a greenhorn but a possible bed mate nonetheless. To Gabriel, Jesse offers a much yearned-for opportunity to indulge in a desire he can't openly speak of. Lust burns brightly, forging a bond between the men that neither can admit to: Jesse, because his is no life for a man like Gabriel, and Gabriel, because he fears rejection.  Will the Arizona Ranger get his man?
