Caroline Buchanan and her father came out west to Virginia City in search of gold and riches, but after he died, she was alone — and did what she had to do to survive. Now the madam at the Painted Pearl Saloon, she relies on the protection of the local sheriff to keep the peace. Rumors fly about the sheriff’s involvement with a band of highwaymen, but one thing is certainly true: he wants Caroline all to himself. And when a handsome stranger is found half-dead outside her saloon, Caroline finds herself caught between the two men — and the two sides of the law.
