Raton Pass — Tom W. Blackburn

This is the stormy saga of Marc Challon and the fabulous XO ranch - one hundred thousand acres of grassland, waist-high, stirrup-high, an empire built on cattle and held by the power of the Challons. It is also the story of driving passions, of men who schemed and killed because of a lust for land. And it is the story of a woman in a land without women: sullen, tempestuous Marcy, whose unbridled desires tore the Challon empire apart.
