The luck of a gambling hand had changed his fate and now the young cowboy was ready to start a new life.
Bud
After serving time in the Louisiana State Prison, Bud Downey spent many months winning a small fortune as a gambler. Feeling confident that he had won enough money, he packed up his stake to begin his journey to Limason, Texas-Home. After his last winning hand at the gambling table, a couple of disgruntled cowboys were angry that they had lost all their money to the smooth-talking young man. As Bud traveled near the border of Lafayette, Louisiana, he was ambushed, shot and left for dead in the swampy waters of the bayou.
Rosie
Rosie Jourdian never dreamed at the young age of eighteen she would have the sole responsible for caring for her two young siblings. With one friend in the world, an old black Creole Voodoo woman, she was abandoned by her mama and left to raise a six week old baby boy and an eleven year old brother.
While fishing in the bayou river, she discovered a bloody cowboy in the swampy waters. With Justice's special herbs and potions, they nursed him back to health.
Once well enough to travel, Bud Downey's luck had ran out. The men who were looking for him discovered his whereabouts and burned down Rosie's shack leaving her family homeless. With their situation changed could Bud ride away and leave Rosie alone in the Bayou-now homeless?
Would this independent young girl go with him and leave the only home she has ever known?
