The McLaffertys — Jude Williams

Gold! The word spread like a fever over the young United States-and men and women poured over the plains, the desert, the mountains, to seize their chance of wealth beyond reckoning. The raw mountain man, Michael McLafferty and the beautiful, half Cheyenne woman, Moon Morning Star, are caught up in that vast human tidal wave--but their quest was not for gold. They were fleeing a warped act of white man's justice, and pursuing the swaggering, brutal Jean Laroque, who had slain the Indian warrior who was McLafferty's friend and Moon Morning Star's husband. They would let nothing distract them, not even their growing hunger for each other...until they reached the point of no return where neither passion nor vengeance could be denied.
