When a stranger rides onto the ranch looking for work, Kathleen Taggart has to agree with her father-he looks like trouble. Still, there is something about the man that intrigues her even as her father warns her to stay away from him.

Zane Two Shadows is a drifter, a bounty hunter, and a half-breed wanted for murder. He's not looking for anything more than a chance to earn a few dollars before he moves on.

In spite of her father's certainty that the stranger is trouble, Zane is just the kind of man Tobias Taggart is looking for-a man who's handy with a gun and not afraid to use it.

Circumstances and fate throw Kathleen and Zane together, proving that her father was right-Zane was definitely trouble. But not the kind her father warned her about.
