Skylar Davenport is the sole provider for her sister Beth since their mother died and their father ran away. She is struggling to keep their farm out of the hands of the bank, but is losing the battle. Skylar is almost killed after she discovers her neighbors murdered. Now she is out to find the killer. When she meets a stranger named Wade Sinclair, she is suspicious of him, even though her body is having some wanton reactions to him.

Wade Sinclair, with his brother Cal, shows up at the Harper homestead claiming to own it. What no one knows is that Wade is actually a detective working for the Weberton Detective Agency. He is trying to discover whether Skylar murdered her friends. He soon begins to believe Skylar is being set up. Of course, his fascination for her is starting to get in the way of his job, and he soon finds he is trying hard to prove her innocence.

Skylar tiptoes around her budding desires towards Wade. Even though Wade has been sent to arrest Skylar for possible murder, his growing temptation for her is getting in his way. When Skylar almost loses her life, Wade convinces her to marry him. After Wade and Skylar face endless problems, they discover they love each other. Now they just have to find the real killer and prove that Skylar is innocent before it is too late.

Ms. Kerce has penned an action-packed western tale sure to bring her readers endless enjoyment. The friction and hormonal heat between Wade and Skylar is often times amusing, and very feverishly hot. Watching Cal and Beth stumble through their growing attraction is sweet and romantic. Make sure to read this story if you love a good western.
