Welcome to Litsy!

When her brother stands trial for a murder he didn't commit, Julia Broderick must leave her comfortable home in St. Louis for the wilds of Montana. But in a town like Gold Strike, where bandits walk the streets and crime abounds, she quickly finds herself in need of help-even the help of a rugged stranger. Wesley Pierce has never known financial security. Raised by failed miners and bred on desperation, he finds himself drawn into the dangerous world of outlaws, with its quick money and high stakes. Everything changes when he meets Julia, a woman with only good in her. Determined to protect her at any cost and torn by budding feelings, he walks the thin line between duty and his shadowed past. In a place where trust is scarce and the price of betrayal is deadly, Julia and Wesley must brave the dangers of a town at war in order to keep her brother from the hangman's noose. But is love enough to keep them from harm, or will evil prevail?
