This book is a story of adventure and romance that's as untamed and unpredictable as the Wild West itself.

Ten years have passed since the ruthless Boggs brothers massacred Jessalea Richardson's entire family. Now seventeen, the courageous beauty disguises herself as a boy and sets off to find the murderers and deliver her own brand of justice. Armed with a Colt, a draw as fast as lightning, and a burning desire for revenge, Jessalea doesn't count on having any distractions.

Char Daniels, a charming, skirt-chasing gunslinger, certainly doesn't plan on falling in love but on a chance encounter in a San Antonio saloon, Char saves the pluncky gal from a cowardly backshooter. Now forced on the run together, Jessalea and Char must cross the scorching wilds of Texas, hiding from the law, tracking down the Boggses...and fighting a mounting attraction that threatens to overwhelm them both.
