The only woman who ever brought U.S. Marshal Matthew Lawson peace has been ripped away from him.
Kidnapped by a man with a bitter grudge, Lillie Kemmer is somewhere in the unforgiving wilderness-and Matthew will cross any distance, face any danger, and challenge the very limits of the law to find her. But he isn't the only man searching. Cutthroat outlaw Darien Maddox is closing in too, and his lifelong obsession with Lillie has grown more dangerous than ever.
But Lillie Kemmer is no helpless victim. Fiercely determined, she fights to endure captivity, relying on her faith and resolve as much as any rescue. Yet not everything is as it seems, and in the heart of the wilderness, she's forced to navigate shifting loyalties and unexpected truths.
With time running out, Matthew must decide how far he is willing to go for the woman he loves-and whether a man who has devoted his life to justice can keep from crossing the line into vengeance.
The hunt that began with a murdered cousin is coming to an end. But before Matthew and Lillie can claim the future they've fought for, they'll have to survive one final reckoning beneath the western sky.
