Résumé :

BUCKLE UP FOR THIS HISTORICAL WESTERN WHERE ROMANCE KEEPS IT LIGHT AND ROBBERY AND MURDER PROVIDE INTRIGUE AND DANGER.

Jordan Hawke has been a loner since boyhood when his entire family was gunned down by the man his mother ran away with. Since then, he's been content with giving in to ongoing and intense feelings of distrust. However, as Jordan finds himself glaring through the window of a Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Train-focused on a solitary, female rider wearing a brown fedora with a red bandana masking half of her face-he can't help but doubt his gut instinct. That is-until the train skids off the tracks and derails into a ditch. Maybe he was right the first time around: women can't be trusted...

Alana James is a woman who answers to no one. And she's made up her mind-Jordan is just as dangerous as the conman who murdered her father. But after a shocking derailment refuge comes for the James-Younger Gang she's traveling with-at the farm of a Quantrill Raider-Jesse James bargains with Jordan to take Alana home. And all of a sudden...Alana feels as if her independence is being ripped away. So, she does the only thing she can think of-she refuses. She also demands that Jordan help her catch the man who shot her father. If he agrees-fine. But Alana promises to waste no love along the way.

As Jordan seeks to capture a female bank robber and recover dollars100,000.00 before Allan Pinkerton arrests him and Alana gets an unexpected lead on the counterfeiting conman, both plunge into a Cherokee Nation full of enemies and outlaws.

In this intense race against time, life and death circumstances threaten to destroy Jordan and Alana unless trust and love are surrendered...
