Deke is a ranch hand who falls in love with the boss's son. Caught in the act, they run away only to be followed by a posse out for his blood.

Deke McCallister has seen it all along the dusty trails of the Old West. But now, working as a ranch-hand for the Crooked J - and for the nasty owner, Harlan Jennings, Deke is about to get the surprise of his life... in the form of love. The object of his affection is a young man named Wyatt, who, after a sudden burst of passion, Deke quickly dubs "Sweet Lips". Trouble is, Wyatt is the boss's son - and they've been caught in the act.

Knowing their own survival is at stake, both Deke and Wyatt run off to spend their lives together. Chasing after them is a posse determined to hang Deke for his actions and desperate to return Wyatt home safe. As the hunt intensifies, Deke and Wyatt realize that this grand adventure is about one thing: their growing love for each other. And while they must fight off their enemies by day, it is the nights they most look forward to, a time for them to indulge their passions.
