For one long year, Adam Steele had kept his head down and his hands clean. No gunfights. No trouble. No ghosts from the past catching up to him.

Just hard work on his spread, honest pay for honest labor, and quiet mornings in the town of Providence with a hot cup of coffee in his hands. After years of drifting, Adam had finally become something he never thought possible ? a respected man.

But peace on the frontier never lasts.

As the monthly Concord stagecoach rumbles into town, the streets of Providence come alive. Saloon doors swing open, gamblers and drunks spill into the dust, and every eye turns toward the stunning woman stepping down from the coach. One look is all it takes. Because trouble has finally come looking for Adam Steele.

A full year without trouble was just about to come to a very sudden end.
