Can change be so terrible that its deadly?
Kitty Jones hasn't known much kindness in her life. Since given a position at the prestigious Whitman Hotel, she feels that at any moment, it could be ripped from her. Terrified of going back to the horrors of the streets, she does what she knows best to survive – pickpocket.
Vaughn Grant had just come to Colorado to take up the church his cousin left. The change had him excited to leave behind his poor excuse of a past in Indiana. Upon settling in, his path crosses with a beautiful red-head, though not for a circumstance he expected to find a woman in.
Will he be able to help her understand that change isn't so dreadful and terrifying like she expects, or will Kitty find herself at the end of a hangman's noose?
