Running away seems to be the only solution, even though she has no way to travel on her own. Perhaps threatening a naïve and inexperienced reverend to help her isn't the best idea, but she is running out of options. Anthony and Briar both have deep secrets and personal reasons for joining a wagon train headed to Oregon. Despite being as different as night and day, they strike an unlikely agreement that leads to something more. When Briar's life hangs in the balance, Anthony must decide if his love for her is stronger than his desire for vengeance.
