The Greenhorn Long, lean and lanky, Jesse "Honcho" Haller is a tough as boot leather ranch foreman. When he played quarterback and dated the Homecoming Queen, no one imagined he'd do anything other than graduate, marry, and raise horses and kids. Somehow, it just didn't happen. Lysander "Andy" Kells is young, unabashedly out of the closet, and childishly enthusiastic about all things Western. When two of the ranch hands bully the new owner, the aftermath of the confrontation leads to an encounter that Andy embraces joyfully, but Jesse wants to keep secret. That's not an easy thing to do in a small town. Line Squall Clyde and Donnie were minding their own business and Roy Harold's cows when a pair of cowboys asked to share the campfire. An unprovoked act of violence leads to bloody vengeance and three deaths. With nowhere to turn, the boys head into the mountains. With every law enforcement agent in the state and a couple of shady bounty hunters on the trail, Clyde and Donnie must avoid the biggest manhunt the territory has ever seen. Knowing their lives are forfeit if they're caught, they give free rein to their feelings for the first time and discover a passion worth dying for.
