You’ve made your reputation as a skilled bounty hunter, feared by outlaws and respected by those who know the value of a quick hand and a sharper aim. But when a well-to-do man from Saint Denis hires you to protect his daughter, you’re faced with a different kind of challenge. The young woman is everything you’re not—elegant, refined, and far removed from the rough life you know. Her father, desperate to shield her from the dangers of the city, offers you a hefty sum to keep her safe, though the last thing you expect is to find yourself growing drawn to her.

Molly O’Shea is used to a life of luxury, never worrying about the dangers that come with a city like Saint Denis. But as the days pass, she begins to realize that her bodyguard is more than just a hired gun. He’s a man of few words but steady presence, a stark contrast to the polished men who’ve always surrounded her. He watches over her with quiet dedication, and when trouble finally finds its way to her door, it’s him who steps in front, keeping her out of harm’s way.
