Juliet Miller didn't have much time for adventure. Between her job, late-night study sessions, pornstar martinis, and a string of bad boyfriends, life in New York City was ordinary, predictable and safe.
Until it wasn't.
One unfortunate girls' trip, a fortune teller's strange prediction, and a horse with a will of its own send her hurtling into another world - and another century. Suddenly, she's stranded in the lawless American frontier, where survival means keeping her wits sharp and her secrets closer.
Caught in the orbit of a ragtag outlaw gang, Juliet finds herself walking a razor's edge between danger and desire. Every day brings new threats, but also unexpected alliances-and one man who might just upend everything she thought she knew about herself, and about trust.
She never believed in fate. But out here, in a world that feels both deadly and impossibly alive, there may not be a choice.

But she finds more than that - and unearths a secret someone died to keep buried. What waits beneath the rubble is rot, regret, and something that refuses to stay down. As bodies fall and secrets rise, Red must decide whether mercy has a place in her legend - or if she's too far gone to turn back. A story etched in blood, memory, and myth - where mercy is the most dangerous thing of all.
