When a Texan makes a promise, and shakes on it, that promise must be honored. A beautiful, young nurse grips the dying warrior's hand screaming out to him "Jeb, you are not going to die on me I made a promise I wouldn't let you die, and shook your hand. So, you cannot die." Rose made that promise and shook Jeb's hand. The promise was sacred. Jeb did live after all other's thought he would surely die. This is a continuing love story that had no beginning and no end. Leaving one war behind, Jeb and Rose ride back to Texas only to find themselves in another war that had to be fought.
