Ginny Fairway didn’t have a typical childhood. Her father, Arnold Fairway, was a criminal, a known thief, and a murderer. When she reaches the age of understanding, Ginny realizes what her father has had her involved in all her life and runs away from that life. She joins up with Jasper Connelly, who is acting as a bounty hunter, and Fairway is his target. They grow to trust each other and fall in love.
But when Ginny is shot, and Arnold rides off with her on the back of his horse, Jasper pursues to no avail. He loses his woman and the man who took her in the blink of an eye. Will he ever see his love again?
Jasper goes home to Low Branch, Texas, to meet up with his brother, Jeremiah, who has been running their family estate since the death of their father. Jasper must get back into the good graces of his brother and the town he left behind if he expects any help from them.
Ginny isn’t dead. When she sees the opportunity to get back to Jasper, she takes it. But the risks are high, and Arnold is after them both. Will they reunite and rekindle the love they had before they were separated? Will Jasper still love her the way he did before? Or will Arnold come out the winner, taking the lives of both his daughter and the man she loves? He’s killed before. Ginny and Jasper have to find a way to work together to make sure he doesn’t get the chance to kill again.
