An innocent wrong turn sticks Louella Tolivar in the middle of a train robbery that threatens her life and the lives of those around her. She is forced to make a drastic decision to protect those she loves including James Carlin, Pinkerton agent.

James, better known as Jimmy in Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, returns to his childhood playground on assignment to find Robin Hood, the ringleader of an outlaw network robbing trains from Kansas City, Missouri to Memphis, Tennessee. He reunites with Ellie and Robert, two best friends from his childhood, and becomes entangled with them in a life-threatening adventure no one expects or wants.

As James fights to keep Louella safe from the outlaws who want her dead, she grows into the woman he would like to spend his life with. If only danger and death didn't threaten with every assignment, they might have a chance, but can a lawman truly give up his badge? Ellie knows he can't, but is she willing to give him up so he can continue the life he needs and craves?
