Fleeing a forced marriage, Lillian Mercer has built a quiet new life at an orphanage, until she risks everything to save a child in her care. Cast out of her job, she arrives in Red Mesa with little more than the boy beside her. Then a handsome stranger enters her life, stirring feelings she never expected. But who is Edmund Calloway, and why does he seem to know more about her past than he should?

Edmund Calloway finds people who don't want to be found. Hired to bring a missing woman home, he follows her trail far into the wild west, only to discover his quarry is nothing like the woman her family described. The more time he spends near Lillian, the harder it becomes to separate his duty from the woman he's falling for.

As lies unravel and danger closes in, Lillian and Edmund must decide what matters more: the truths they once believed, or the love growing between them. Can they trust each other before the past catches up with them.
