Lawman Wade McCord is on the trail of a cold-blooded killer, which leads him to a small stagecoach station in southern Missouri. Pretending to be a down-on-his-luck gambler, Wade convinces Lottie Hammond, the station manager, to give him a job. Although he suspects she's involved with the man he's vowed to bring to justice, Wade finds his beautiful new employer irresistible.

Lottie has learned to mistrust men, thanks to her wastrel father and her outlaw brother-in-law, who is the father of the two children she has claimed as her own. She's not sure why she offers the handsome stranger a job, especially knowing that Wade's presence puts both the children and her secrets at risk.

As Wade's investigation continues, danger draws ever closer to them all. When violence erupts, Lottie learns the brutal truth about Wade and why he has invaded her home. She can't live with another betrayal by a man who matters to her. The only problem is that her heart can't live without him.
