    • Synopsis
    • San Antonio Texas in 1899 is the closest thing to a city that Audrey Byrne has seen since she left Philadelphia years ago to start a family with Rory. Now that their children are older, 8 and 15, Audrey and Rory are leaving Marble Creek to settle into a more sophisticated life in San Antonio, and we meet them as they are introducing the children to the city. But their fun is interrupted by a telegram that Rory’s father, Seamus, has been killed.
      The ride back finds Rory in trouble as he navigates the wagon and he dies. Now Audrey is left with burying the children’s father and grandfather as well as managing what to do with the huge ranch that belongs to the Byrne family in Marble Creek.

      Garrett Knox is the biggest landowner in the region and a colleague of Seamus.’ He’s also ruthless, and wastes not a second trying to take the ranch off of Audrey’s hands. But Audrey is street smart before there was such a thing and she’s not about to let her children’s future slip away to his greed. As she navigates how to manage the ranch and be a single mom, she decides that she can lease part of the land to an oil company. This would solve many problems; not the least of which include a good income and her lack of desire in being a cattle rustler. It would also keep the ranch in the name of her children.

      Garrett wants nothing to do with progress in Marble Creek, and he has no problem letting everyone know that. What’s not widely discussed is that Garrett runs a gang of “black riders” -- outlaw men in masks who instill “law” wherever Garrett sees fit. In fact, it was the black riders who killed Seamus.

      As a Pinkerton detective, Beau is at odds with his father for similar reasons and he sympathizes with Audrey because he is smitten with her. But Audrey’s children are her only priority. Things come to a head as her plans move forward, and the black riders threaten every single person that stands in their way. But when they show up at Audrey’s door she’s ready. Audrey shows them that a girl from Philadelphia can be tougher than any guy from Texas.
