Jenny Thompson takes great pleasure in her job as secretary to the sheriff. He consults her on cases, and, contrary to what the sheriff things, Jenny's convinced she single-handedly protects the town. Then, college-educated lawman Cal Westwood arrives to combat a notorious outlaw and his gang. Determined to run Cal out on a rail before he can take over her sheriff office, Jenny will stop short of nothing.

Initially, Cal’s attracted to Jenny’s elusive green eyes, but that’s before she convinces the town flirt and the entire temperance league to aim their ire at him. He has a gang to catch, his fallen comrade to avenge, and he’s not going to let one interfering woman ruin it for him. But he might have underestimated Jenny.

Will hot lead and quick trigger fingers ignite not just shootouts, but love? Or will their feuding give the outlaw the opportunity he needs to kill them all?
