Janet Garret, raised in the notorious Garret gang, knows no other life. Disguised as a man, she has robbed banks, picked pockets and held up packtrains. During a bloody shootout, she promises her dying father that she'll go straight. Given a chance to be a respectable schoolmarm, she eagerly accepts. Although she's never been in a schoolroom before, her outlaw skills serve her well.
The transition to being respectable is hard. Acting like a lady is much harder.
Severed from everyone she's known, she comes to cherish the town and the citizens in it—even Marshal Blade Blackthorne whose brother she crippled in the shootout. Will he recognize her and hang her as he's vowed?
And can she survive falling in love with him . . .
