For the last five years, Garden City native Jesse West has been on the run from his own heartbreak. Shunning romantic entanglements, he lives the nomadic life of a bounty hunter. That is, until a final request to a dying friend brings Jesse into contact with Adeline McCoy, a stoic mountain girl who awakens his long-dormant desires.

But Jesse has no intention of forming a relationship, not even with the flame-haired beauty. And Addie is a lady. Though he tries to convince himself to stick to the plan - to deliver Addie safely to her aunt - something tells him this girl won't be so easy to forget.

Can the couple make their way through the mountains of Colorado safe from bandits, robbers... and their own insatiable desires?
