Stone Hammond is the best tracker in Texas. When a wealthy railroad investor hires him to find his abducted granddaughter, Stone eagerly accepts the job.

Charlotte Atherton, a former headmistress, has promised to protect the orphaned girl entrusted to her care, and nothing will stop her from fulfilling that pledge. Not even the handsome bounty hunter who comes looking for them.

When Miss Atherton produces evidence that she is Lily’s legal guardian, Stone must reevaluate everything he’s been led to believe. Meanwhile, a new threat emerges, forcing these enemies to decide whether they can trust each other --- before they both lose what they hold most dear.
