Bounty hunter Zane Coldridge—infamous, dangerous and revered—does not get distracted. He's renowned for his no-nonsense attitude, and criminals fear the day he comes knocking on their door. But when Zane encounters Missy Lenore Devlin, his resolve is swiftly tested. This ditzy yet innocently beautiful damsel in distress is on the lookout for adventure, and Zane has that in abundance. Torn between chivalry and keeping his head in the game, Zane pulls Missy onto his horse and promises her a journey—one that neither could have imagined when the sun rose over the prairie that morning.
