Synopsis: Nephi Sorensen, a youthful Mormon cattle drover, is mending fences in the Utah territory when handsome and mysterious Johnny Holden rides up. Nephi is distrustful of strangers, especially gentiles. But he agrees to share his evening meal with Johnny after the latter helps him string barbed wire. And when the sun goes down along with the temperatures, he also agrees to share his bedroll. When the sun comes up the next morning, will he be content to find a wife as the elders expect, or will Nephi ride off with a husband instead? NOTE: This story appears in the anthology, Cowboy Roundup edited by Drew Hunt, available in e-book and print formats.
