Lafayette Riordan longs for an adventurous life fighting against the West's worst outlaws. But his gentle upbringing has prepared him for a life as a scholar and artist, not a lawman. Unwilling to give up, Riordan secretly learns to handle firearms--and eventually gains a coveted spot with Judge Isaac Parker's famous marshals--even though it involves doing the worst jobs in the Territory.
Rosa Ramirez left the sordid conditions of her home near Amarillo, Texas, for the promise of a new life on her grandfather's ranch. But she quickly learns that safety is just as precarious on the ranch after a band of outlaws steals her grandfather's horses and kills one of his men. Rosa rides to Judge Parker and demands protection, but she is livid when she learns that Riordan--the stable boy and dish washer--is the only man available. Far from being the marshal that Rosa wanted, Riordan doesn't even look like he can brandish a pistol.
It's up to Riordan to convince Rosa otherwise...and take hold of his dream of honor and love.
