Can an outlaw and a Pinkerton form more than a temporary partnership? Can love rewrite the future and give them both a second chance?
May 1874, Indian Territory -- In chains, on his way to a bleak end, infamous outlaw Jasper Byrne is stolen off a train by a woman in disguise who claims to be a Pinkerton agent.
Brigit Stevens has worked undercover for ten years, putting rascals like Jasper behind bars. But when a high-ranking detective goes missing in the wilderness during a railroad investigation, she must turn to a train robber for help.
Jasper admires the beautiful agent’s pluck and her artful disguises. Even more surprising, Brigit treats him with respect and even trusts him with her life. He isn’t sure if she’s crazy or simply naïve when she refuses to accept that he’s an irredeemable scoundrel.
When the stakes get higher than either of them expects, Jasper faces a choice. He can sacrifice himself to save Brigit or he can put his faith in her courage and cleverness, and in something he finds harder to believe in...the power of love.
