Emma Fairweather married for an established family name and place in Chicago society, but when the money ran out, her husband moved them out west to Idaho Territory. When Emma's husband is murdered under mysterious circumstances, she is left alone in the rough and tumble mining town of Virginia City.

Could a handsome stranger be her only chance to stay alive, and claim her rightful inheritance?

A letter from the brother she had long presumed to be dead sends her searching for him, and she finds herself embroiled in a stagecoach robbery and the bandits responsible for the heist. But the leader of the bandits is more than he seems, and may just be the man to melt Jo's frozen heart.
