Description
Tom Stuart takes risks—in war, in love, and in card games all the way from St. Louis to Mexico. . . The hard-drinking, fast-talking steamboat captain, who knows every shoal and eddy of the Rio Grande from the Big Bend to Brownsville, has a dream of building a shipping empire that will span the windswept Gulf of Mexico to rich, exotic New Orleans. But this is a kind of gamble he’s never faced before: with a woman to win, a woman to lose, and a dangerous man standing in the way.
