Synopsis
Finding the truth will take some fast talking - and a faster gun.
Susannah Calhoun has always been able to charm her way into anything she wants. But when she is arrested for a murder she didn't commit, she realizes there's no sweet-talking her way out of this one. The victim is the brother of a US senator, who demands Susannah be tried in his home city of Denver. He's even summoned a US marshal to make sure she gets there.
Marshal Jedidiah Brown reluctantly accepts the assignment as a favor to a friend. He already knows Susannah's trouble from the way sparks flew the first time they met, but he doesn't believe her a murderer. When a lynch mob busts her out of jail and tries to hang her, Jedidiah realizes he has to buy time to prove her innocence.
Pursued by the man who would see Susannah dead, the road to Denver is filled with peril as they search for the witness who could clear her name. Their time alone on the road brings them closer than ever, but the witness proves elusive, and Denver looms on the horizon - the end of a journey that could end with love. Or the gallows.
