Annabelle St. Clair has vanished from the stages of New York and San Francisco, and the West is the only place where she can hide. Trapped beneath a widow's veil and a pile of lies, she hires Shelley-a rugged bounty hunter with a dangerous smile and no interest in complications-to take her to San Francisco. He thinks he's escorting a quiet woman on her way to a new life. He has no idea she's a celebrated diva with a wanted poster, a haunted past, and enough secrets to bring armed men down on both of them.
Shelley has spent years keeping his heart out of trouble and his life on the move. But Annie is nothing like the women he leaves behind in saloons. She sings like a dream, fights like a fury, and keeps getting under his skin when she should be fading into the horizon. The more trouble they outrun, the harder it becomes to remember this is only a job. By the time the trail leads to betrayal, violence, and the truth about who Annie really is, Shelley will have to decide what matters more: the reward waiting in San Francisco, or the woman he never meant to love.
