Who would guess the most formidable adversary former gunslinger Hunter Mitchell ever faced would be a fiery, violet–eyed female? Now that he's served his time, Hunter intends to claim the daughter he's only just discovered. While the law is on his side this time, his daughter's devoted aunt certainly isn't.
