Fleeing the obligations of her past, Esther Whyte sets her sights on California - a promise of gold, freedom, and a chance to start over. But the trail west is long, cruel, and lonely. When she crosses paths with Cain Dillard, a sharp-tongued, battle-scarred gunslinger, survival takes on a new meaning. He's dangerous, magnetic, and far too easy to want - everything she swore to avoid. Bound by necessity and whiskey-soaked nights, they ride together through dust, danger, and desire. On the California Trail, trust can kill you - but so can the lack of it. TW: CONTAINS MATURE THEMES Sexual assault, sexual violence, blood, violence, rape, cannibalism and others.
