When a debutante and a rough and tumble sheriff collide, it's not just bullets that fly, it's sparks! Emmy Gibson is a spoiled brat of epic proportions. Destitute after her father's passing, she's given one last chance to maintain her lavish lifestyle but she'd rather risk death. Hoping to start a new life, she becomes a mail order bride and traipses off to California, never suspecting she'll soon be staring down the business end of a shotgun. As the sheriff of a county that's as dangerous as it is beautiful, Mason Wilder has seen just about everything. But all of the drunken prospectors and murderous highwaymen in Gold Country can't prepare him for Emmy. The high-falootin' city girl turns his life upside down when she storms through his door, demanding justice after her stagecoach is robbed. When he and his posse hit the trail to hunt down the outlaws, Mason thinks he's left the pampered belle behind. Except the darned woman tags along, and he can't decide whether he wants to strangle her or kiss her. Little do they know, there's a bullet out there with Mason's name on it. Will they manage to become more than friends or will the villain succeed in ending their relationship before it has a chance to start?
