In the late 1800s, Hendricks Potter and his partner, Denver, have been searching for a notorious outlaw, a robber and a murderer. They are forced to split up, each taking a different route when the outlaw disappears at a supposed fork in the road.

After Hendricks discovers the criminal in a bar, he chases him to the town of Low Branch but once again, as he is known to do, Kelsey disappears. Henry has been injured in their last encounter and is forced to seek help from a stranger, a woman living in a cottage with a barn perfect for hiding in. Bridget Watson has troubles of her own.

Rumors spread about her through the town, which disturb her. But when Hendricks comes into her life, the humiliating rumors are no longer important to her. Making sure Hendricks is safe is her only priority. The two form a close bond that supersedes any other relationships in their lives. Unfortunately, both Hendricks and Bridget forget the reason Hendricks came to Low Branch in the first place. And when the brigand Hendricks is hunting makes his next appearance, their lives are put in danger like never before. Will they save each other from the monstrous outlaw? Will their love withstand everything thrown at them?
