Publisher's Synopsis
Set in in Arizona Territory in 1885, Sandstone is a love story and a tale of survival. Seth March, a tough, saddle-weary drifter who reads the Greek classics, is standing beside his campfire watching the morning fog lift over Sandstone Creek when a beautiful young woman races up in a buckboard pulled by lathered horses and tosses a bag of money at his feet. Elizabeth Castle, a school teacher turned saloon singer, has robbed the Tucson Cattlemen's Bank. At gun point, she takes Seth's horse, asks him to hide the money, and then races off with a posse in pursuit. Soon Elizabeth seductively mixes blackmail with charm and beauty to convince Seth to help her flee from the sheriff's posse and a vicious bounty hunter. They quickly discover that their journey is no longer just a means of escape but also a struggle for survival and a search for love.
