Tap Andrews always managed to find trouble even though he tried his hardest to stay away from it. Fed up with his past, he's sick and tired of fighting off every gun-toting bounty hunter who wants to make some quick cash by dragging him back to the territorial prison in Arizona. He's innocent. He knows it. His fiancee Pepper Paige believes it. All he has to do is prove it. But Pepper isn't about to sit around doing nothing and let Tap go off to set things right without her. She's determined to follow him anywhere—until she hears where he's headed. She can't return to Denver and face her past. Not for Tap or anyone. Not ever. That is, until Carter Dillard reappears. Pepper has no choice but to strike a deal that makes her face hard truth she'd rather forget. In the bargain, she's forced to Denver and an unexpected, awkward reunion with Tap. What happens when their paths collide?
