Oregon, 1895 Assassin. Outlaw. Thief. Flames, terror and falling into an endless darkness are all Hunter North can remember. When she wakes up, her memory is gone. In her reflection, she finds a stranger. In the tales her father weaves, she finds one of America’s most wanted criminals. Horrified at her identity, and the newfound knowledge that she is the daughter of an even more infamous outlaw than she is, Hunter wonders how she ever got mixed up in the wrong crowd. Wonders how she’ll ever escape and find the truth of her identity. But her father made it abundantly clear the night she tried to run the first time…if she attempts it again, he will find her, and when death finally comes…it will be a sweet relief. But when the choice is taken from Hunter and she is forced to run to keep her life, her world collides with the man who holds the answers her memory has long hidden—the man who has been hunting her down for years—the bane of her existence, but very likely, her only hope—U.S. Marshal Ethan Fellows.

HER SECRET COULD BE HER UNDOING… The American Civil War. 1865. A woman well-versed with facades, Justice Hudson is hiding in plain sight. No one questions a smooth-faced deadeye known for bringing down countless Confederates in battle. She’s an asset the Union army cannot turn away, though most soldiers peg her for an underage boy—she keeps to herself in camp and serves the army with deadly precision in the field. Justice has guarded the secret of her identity for years, but she’s hiding another secret, and she knows her cover can be maintained for only so long. She’s going to be found out, and dishonourably discharged from the army—or worse. Intimately acquainted with love and loss, Union Captain Eamon Gallagher is trying to keep his head down—and keep the past from following him into the present. While his doctoring days are over, his keen attention to detail is not—and when he meets a young private who looks years too young to be fighting a war, he wonders what secrets young Hudson is hiding. But as the war draws to an end and one of Justice’s fellow soldiers is gunned down in the street, a more personal war is begun, with consequences farther-reaching than Justice or Eamon could ever have imagined. They must find the killer and bring them to justice, before Justice becomes their next target.
