But when he and his men break out and head for the stash they end up with a pair of unwelcome partners: Rodelo and a beautiful woman with a hidden past.? To get fifty thousand dollars in gold across fifty miles of desert the desperate band quickly learns how much they need each other--and how deep their greed and suspicion can run.? At the end of the journey lie the waters of Baja and a new life in Mexico but first they have to survive the savage heat bounty-hunting Yaqui Indians and the shifting treacherous nature of both the desert sands and their own conflicting loyalties.
