When his stepfather is murdered, Brady Wilkes is the prime suspect since he stands to inherit the wealthiest ranch in Kansas. Operating under the guise of a law-abiding citizen, Lou Spearman is more dangerous than he lets on. In cahoots with a dishonest Cavalry sergeant, Spearman is boss of a horse-swindling operation. He is also the only person who can provide Brady with an alibi, but he ain't talking. Brady's in way over his head, and his only alibi could land him even deeper in hot water. If he confesses to the sheriff that on the day his stepfather was murdered he was conning honest ranchers into shady horse deals, he risks being shot by one of Spearman's gunslicks. But if he doesn't come clean, Brady will face the hangman's noose.

Despite his best efforts, gun-for-hire Matt Logan is unable to stop the brutal murder of an innocent man. Logan prefers to keep to himself but feels obligated to warn the man's partner that he was unfairly cut down by their main competitor, Carl Sullivan. Much to his surprise, the partner turns out to be a fetching, strong-willed woman: Clarissa Hubbard. Clarissa hears the news but is more determined than ever to move the supplies to the starving gold miners before winter hits hard in the Georgia Mountains. She needs to beat Sullivan at his own game. With her mind made up, she hires Logan to protect her wagon train. Together they battle their way through Creek territory and snowstorms while fending off Sullivan's attempts at sabotage.

At the age of eleven, Jenny Morriston executed the death-defying feat of breaking her father out of jail after he was wrongly accused of murder.

No matter how much it pains her, she must guard her identity even from him. The closer Jenny gets to the truth, the riskier her charade becomes...until the only thing she can rely on is her courage.
