A secretive woman in hiding - A man unwillingly chosen to protect her - Can they find love and overcome the enemy before it's too late?

Pearl Summers is not who everyone in Pistol Ridge thinks she is. Acting mute keeps her from answering any questions. In order to protect Pearl from her father's enemies, she tries to hide out where she won't be found. Except there is one person who doesn't believe her and vows to get to the truth of the matter.

Reid Wallace, better known as Creed, has a hard time trusting others, except for his comrades. His days as a spy in the war are long over and he thinks maybe someday he'll settle down if he finds the right person.

But, there is a woman he can't keep his eyes off of who is lying through her teeth. Because she made a vow not to speak, he can't get to the heart of the matter. Will Creed find out the truth before the enemy finds out where she is hiding out?

Or, will the folks in Pistol Ridge have to remove another enemy from its town?

Pistol Ridge is a small remote mining town near Nevada City, Montana Territory, where a dirty sheriff had held the town hostage by ordering his thugs to steal a percentage of their earnings to keep law and order. But, the women, holding a secret society, went looking for a hero. They found him and cleaned up the town with the help of several men, brothers in arms, who came to help their former commander.

Now, seven men are looking for somewhere to hang their hats. Will Pistol Ridge be the place to find reprieve for their weary souls?
