He was notorious and dangerous. She was primly proper and beautiful. With his bold, lazy smile and his six-shooter slung low on his lean hips, Slade Maverick looked as though he were riding to a showdown. Rachel Wilder couldn't believe the insolent, handsome gunslinger had come to Kansas to care for his late sister's orphaned children. She didn't trust him an inch --- not for one, single minute! But despite how hard she attempted to avoid him, he swept like a tornado into her quiet life, daring her to change, to emerge from her sheltered existence, and to love him with all her heart --- until she trembled every time he came near, dreamed of his kisses, and, deep down inside, knew he was the man she would long for all the days of her life. But now, Slade's mysterious past has caught up with them both, in the shape of an equally lethal hired gunslinger named "Digger" Thibeaux. He and Slade arrange to confront each other in a deadly duel, and Rachel doesn't know if the man she loves will ever be coming back to her!
