“Am I in jail?”
Warm throaty laughter drew Lily’s gaze to a pair of sparkling blue eyes. Flutters erupted low in her belly. A sudden heat flooded her face, and she averted her gaze from the handsome stranger.
“Mind telling me what you’re doing up here, Lily?” he asked.
“This is all a terrible misunderstanding. I’ve come to Pine Ridge on business.”
“I am aware of that.” The corners of his mouth slid upward again, and Lily was quite certain she’d never known a man with such a charming disposition.
“Sheriff Barns!” The stranger glanced over his shoulder as a man burst in through the door.
“What is it, Davy?”
“Barns?” said Lily.
The Sheriff looked back at her, and Lily realised she’d spoken the name aloud.
“That’s right,” he said. “Juniper Barns.”
Lily couldn’t draw her next breath. His narrowing blue eyes suggested her expression revealed her shock. He can’t be.
She’d come to Pine Ridge to kill the Sheriff.

Prologue
Fall 1876
California Foothills
“Juniper Barns!”
Juniper’s horse crested the last rise of swaying yellow grasses as his name carried back on the breeze in an angry shout. He reined in, his gaze locking on five riders mounted in front of the ranch house that had been his sanctuary for the past six years.
Sprays of light from the setting sun glinted off their guns, raising the fine hairs on the back of Juniper’s neck. Sensation tingled in the tips of his fingers. He forgot about the exhaustion tugging at his muscles and the sweet scent of freshly baked bread that had been calling him home for supper. His free hand flexed, his palm burning for the grip of his gun concealed beneath his range coat.
