1873 Montana Territory

Katy Burns, her sister, Mary and her tiny niece were the only people left in a desolate Montana ghost town. Without a horse, they hadn't a chance of crossing a wilderness crawling with outlaws, Indians, and grizzlies. All Katy had was a firm will to survive and a derringer in her pocket. Then a stranger named Garrick Rowe rode down the empty main street. He wasn't a desperado; he was a rugged, frontier-smart man with a daring scheme to bring this town back to life. After he met Katy, he also had personal plans for her. All she wanted from Garrick Rowe was a way out of this miserable town.
