Los Chisos. They were ruthless outlaws who smuggled desperate Mexicans into Texas for an outrageous fee, and they would have no qualms about killing border patrol agent Samantha Spencer. Then one of them, the mysterious arid Handsome Ross de la Garza, claimed her as his own. For some reason he was protecting her.
