U.S. Marshal Jack McCay tracks outlaws for a profession and sweet-talks pretty women out of their clothes, for pleasure. But when he begins to hunt a vicious killer, he finds one beautiful woman resistant to his charm.

Tessa Jane Creager is also in search of the renegade half-breed for murdering her brother and his wife. The wanted poster says dead or alive, and she figures dead couldn't be better. However, while on the trail, she gains the help of an unwanted Marshal-turned-Bounty Hunter.

Figuring he's like all men, she works hard at resisting his relentless sweet-talk. Yet, on a long, difficult trail, a lot changes by the time she faces the Devil's Kiss.
