Star leads a dangerous life. Beneath the brutal sun, he helps his father, Ty, guide settlers through the harshest lands. Those who survive the monsters, bandits, and other omnipresent threats often succumb to the elements. Star has his own demons to worry about-ones from his past that he's never been able to outride-but so long as he has Ty and the wind at his back, he's content. Damien Sole is a wanted man. His ragtag family of outlaws is on the run from bounty hunters who would as happily kill them as arrest them, and they're in need of a guide. Star doesn't look like much-with his slim build and cat-like features-but there's ferocity in his sharp green eyes that Damien can't resist. What starts as a spark of lust between the two men flares into an inferno. As ancient secrets surface, they bring new enemies with them. Men like Damien and Star don't die old in their beds, and they don't get a happy ever after. With everything against them, nothing will come easy. Especially not love.
