Heads turn when Jonah Durrell rides into Motherlode. Some people see him as a handsome, vain and charming man. Others know of his reputation as a smart, successful manhunter, as good with his fists as with his matched guns.

Jonah just wants to enjoy himself at Miss Jenny's parlour house but his visit is interrupted by the brutal murder of one of the girls. Someone is trying to get Miss Jenny out of town but she won't be pushed around. Jonah can never resist helping a damsel in distress. But at what cost?
