A simple errand at the Cooper's Creek Bank put the wife of Ethan Blackwood in the middle of a robbery-turned-bloodbath. Now, Ethan is obsessed with bringing his wife’s killers to justice. He vows to find the outlaws, no matter how long it takes or where he must go. But first, he needs someone to care for his two small daughters.
After killing her stepfather, an abusive, heartless man who wagered her in a poker game, Annie Benton Holt is on the run with a sick and weak infant. Even though she killed the man in a struggle for her own life, when her stepbrothers find out she’s killed their father they’ll be out for blood.
If the law doesn’t put a noose around her neck first.
When the baby’s health forces Annie to stop in Cooper's Creek, she is befriended by the town’s doctor. Broke, homeless, and with her baby’s health unstable, Annie accepts the doctor’s proposed marriage-of-convenience between her and his widowed brother. Annie believes this mutual arrangement is the perfect solution and will allow her to hide in plain sight.
But once the vows are exchanged, Annie finds a major flaw in her perfect solution. Hiding out in this marriage may be a worse fate than the one from which she is running.
