An action-packed love story with a feisty heroine, a rugged hero and a cute kid. A fun read.
Jenny Jones was a mule driver, buffalo skinner, and, in self-defence, a killer -- not a baby sitter. Yet when a rich dying woman offers to take Jenny's place in front of a firing squad -- in exchange for bringing her 6-year-old daughter safely to California -- Jenny gives her solemn oath. it won't be easy. Graciela hates her on sight. The kid's greedy, gun-toting relatives are soon hot on their trail. And there's a certain tall, handsome complication...

Ty Sanders thought looking for his brother's long-lost daughter was a fool's errand. That was before he stumbled upon a tough-as-nails young woman battling desperadoes to protect the kid. Now all Ty wants is for Jenny to hand over his niece. But Jenny Jones has a suspicious nature and a promise to keep. Indeed, her word is all she has -- until a little runt of a girl softens her defenses...and a rugged cowboy steals her heart when she isn't looking.
