When Jolene Wade kills her abusive husband in a desperate act of survival, she flees into the storm with nothing but her horse and her will to live. Left for dead on the roadside, she's saved by Arthur Morgan, a gruff outlaw whose gang offers her the first real chance at freedom she's ever known.
But life among thieves demands more than courage-it demands trust. And as Jolene learns to fight, ride, and survive by Arthur's side, she begins to wonder if the man who rescued her might be the one to teach her what it truly means to live...
Her past is hunting her, the law is closing in, and every choice could cost her everything-but for the first time, Jolene has something worth fighting for.
