A woman hiding behind a false name. A lawman whose desire for her is almost stronger than his thirst for justice.

Lily Calhoun cannot curb her anxiety when a United States Marshal enters her café. She hopes his time in Fox Creek is brief. The man’s searching gaze confirms what she already fears. He knows her secret.

Travis Strickland arrives in Fox Creek to round up Fast Gun Philly Roberts and his gang of moonshiners. At least, he allows the locals to believe that. He has another reason for coming to town, one involving Lily.

He is intent on capturing Milo Wilder, the man who wants to find Lily. Wilder is a bank robber who murdered a man during his last theft. Travis will use the café owner as bait to lure the outlaw out from wherever he is hiding. It should be easy for a United States Marshal. The man he wants to capture will come after Lily. Travis will wait and watch, ready to catch him.

Except Lily alters his plan when she packs up her son and runs away in the night. When a man from her past threatens to reveal her real identity to the townspeople, Lily decides to leave. She buys a buggy and runs away in the night with her young son. Starting over will be hard, but it is not as daunting as facing her friends after they learn the truth about her.

Travis will not let her escape. He proposed to her and wants an answer, or so he says when he catches up with her. What follows is a visit with a drunken judge and a night spent in a bunkhouse—and Travis’s confession that he plans to use her as bait.

Will Lily be his ‘happily wedded wife’ after learning how he plans to use her to catch Milo Wilder? Can Travis convince her to return to Fox Creek once she knows her outlaw brother-in-law is on his way?


Return to Fox Creek for another visit! Old friends and a new romance are waiting for you...
