31 parts Complete It's a fine line between murder and bounty hunting, and most days, Shepard Devereaux isn't sure which side he's on.
After his parents are killed in a freak wagon accident when he's seventeen, Shepard Devereaux is forced at gunpoint to abandon his younger brother, William, to their cruel uncle's care. Now a bounty hunter six years later, Shepard has saved enough money to rescue William, but within an hour of his return, his world is shattered.
When he's offered a chance to join a posse and hunt the outlaw responsible for his brother's downfall and the disappearance of his childhood sweetheart, Hazel Jones, Shepard sets out on a dangerous path of vengeance and justice.
Being born the illegitimate daughter of a famous prostitute and raised in a whorehouse, townsfolk have made it known all Hazel Jones' life that she is little better than a sweet roll covered in manure-all except for Shepard Devereaux, the boy her heart has been set on for the better part of her life.
Years later, one night after the outlaw Dynamite Fairleigh attacks her at The Lilypad brothel, Hazel flees, unknowingly setting in motion a heartbreaking chain of events that leads Shepard Devereaux back into her life.
But Hazel and Shepard soon learn Dynamite Fairleigh isn't the only threat they'll have to survive if they want a chance at a new life together.
