Storm was her name --- and her destiny. Born on a night when lightning flashed and thunder rolled, the raven-haired beauty was sixteen before the promise of her name became the path of her life. Born to wealth, the belle of five parishes, Storm Lesconflair was wagered away during a card game by her wastrel uncle to a middle-aged Texas rancher whom she barely knew. But fate intervened when on her way to Texas to marry Gabriel North, the stagecoach on which she was traveling was held up, and she was taken captive by the outlaws who had set upon it. They, too, gambled her away at cards --- to a fierce, blue-eyed bounty hunter, a dark-skinned, half-breed gunslinger called "El Lobo" (the Wolf), who carried her off into the desert bluffs and high plains of West Texas. A man with a mysterious, shadowed past, he could kill in cold blood, then take her with fire and tenderness when he held her in his arms. But Gabriel North was not the kind of man to be cheated of his New Orleans bride by a half-breed Comanche drifter, and soon, he set out with his men, bent on tracking down Wolf and killing him --- and reclaiming Storm, no matter the cost!
