Blaze Bowie and his brother Shade are not only on the verge of losing their Louisiana plantation and timberland but are accused of causing a local woman's death. Refusing to give up their birthright without a fight, Blaze hopes to find cousin Jim Bowie in Texas along with a long lost, secret key to saving the land. With foreclosure threatened and bullets flying, the brothers ride out with Davy Crockett and his Tennessee Mounted Volunteers to the Alamo. Noelle Charbonnez, barely surviving in a tiny hut near the Alamo, promises her dying mother she will return to her estranged grandmother in Natchez. If the rumor is true that old friend Jim Bowie, who once lived across the Mississippi River from them, is now in Texas, Mama wants Noelle to ask him to take her home. Noelle mistrusts all Bowies and vows never to befriend much less travel anywhere with anyone named Bowie. When handsome Blaze meets beautiful Noelle, worlds collide and clash. Bodies soon sizzle while hearts begin to dream. They must not only conquer old grudges and face new fears, but battle the siege of the Alamo, confront the Napoleon of the West, meet up with the Commander-in-Chief of the Texas Army, search for the Pirate of the Gulf, and find the long lost, secret key if they are to always love and laugh.
