Learning that her rancher father has been shot and killed in the small town of Winchester, Arizona, delicately raised Bryony Hill leaves her sheltered life in St. Louis and travels west to take charge of his ranch. But when outlaws attack her stagecoach, the peaceful journey becomes a nightmare -- until rugged gunfighter Texas Jim Logan shows up, rescues her, and takes Bryony to safety. But sharing one stolen, reckless kiss with the handsome gunfighter who protected her sparks a wildfire passion neither of them ever expected -- until Bryony learns that the man who saved her and kissed her in a way she'd never been kissed before is the very man who killed her father in a gunfight. She tries to hate Texas Jim Logan, and to push him away, but as danger edges closer in the small western town, he is always there for her. Can she find the courage to accept the truth about her father and to trust the one man who has risked his life for her -- the gunfighter who has lassoed her heart?
