Slammed in a jail cell after killing a man in a crooked poker game, Ethan Craig's future looks bleak. Then a witness, Amelia Ash, comes forward and offers Ethan a way out. But there's a catch. Amelia needs someone to escort her on a treacherous journey across bandit-infested country to her forthcoming wedding.

Ethan agrees to take her, but with raging rivers to cross and Buck Lincoln's outlaw gang on her tail, it isn't long before he realizes just how treacherous this journey will be. But the one problem Ethan never expected to face is that he would fall victim to Amelia's charms and getting her to her wedding might just be the last thing he'll want to do!
