Synopsis

USA Today best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize nominee Ralph Cotton tells an 1865 tale of a Kansas woman victimized by murderous marauders. As Julie Wilder races to greet her father, she sees his ashen face and fixed stare too late to escape the hooded nightriders who suddenly surround her. When bounty hunter Baines Meredith discovers her the next day-battered, bleeding, and barely alive-he covers her nakedness and gently cares for her. But can Baines help Julie develop the strength, courage, and skill she needs to administer her own brand of frontier justice?
