Hermano is more than the bandito you met in The Bounty.
He's Malcolm Ross y Zarza half-Spanish, half-Scottish
bastard son of a Texas hacienda owner who has hidden in
the guise of a Mexican bandito for half his life. Malcolm
left home at eighteen fueled by rage at his half-brother
Damasco and the abuse he received at the hands of
Damasco's mother, Isabella.
Hermano returns home at age thirty-five hoping to find his
mother, the Scottish cook that fell under the spell of Don
Alejandro Zarza. But instead he finds his childhood
friend, Leigh Wynne, a widow and owner of the neighboring
ranch.
Leigh is in heaven and hell. She finally has a chance to
be with Malcolm, the man she's always loved, but someone
is deliberately trying to destroy her ranch, and take her
life in the process.
Together, Leigh and Malcolm forge a bond to find out the
truth behind the treachery and murder. Bullets will fly,
and Malcolm and Leigh must stand and fight, for their
love, their lives, and their future.
