In the West, a man could outrun the law, outshoot his enemies, and still lose his heart.
Walker Blackburn is a bounty hunter accustomed to life on his own. But after rescuing a boy and his dog from a would-be bully, he finds himself with something he never expected-a family, and one that needs his protection.
Walker Blackburn sat at the small table beneath the window in his hotel room. At the sound of the first gunshots, his head snapped around, and he stared out the window, taking in the scene unfolding below.
That kind of life was never meant for him. He was not made to be a townsman, a father, or a husband. He was a wanderer, with nothing to tie him to any one place, free to come and go as he pleased. That was the life he knew. Yet a small, persistent itch had begun to stir at the back of his mind.
Would protecting this newfound family change the course of Walker's life? Or would the call of the open road prove too strong to resist?
