Austin Tanner is ready to settle down and marry, but as the bounty hunter works his last case, he receives an unexpected surprise when a woman who is bent on revenge takes him prisoner. Strange, how this little slip of a woman would make him forget that he'd order a mail-order bride and would be married soon. Eleanor Lawson wants her father's murder solved, and she'll do anything she has to... even forcing the bounty hunter who had worked the case to find the killer. She hadn't planned on being attracted to Austin, and she especially didn't except to have so much fun while working with him to track down the criminal.
