There she unwittingly saves Storme Warwick, an attractive half-breed bounty hunter, from an attacker's bullet. Declaring himself indebted to her, this captivating stranger becomes her friend-and lover. But Anna's past soon meets up with her as grave danger threatens her newfound bliss.

He cannot help but fall under her rapturous spell, even though he senses she is hiding a dark secret. And when Anna is kidnapped, he knows he must risk everything to rescue her-and a love that is more precious than life itself.
Half breed Storme comes home to help his brother out on the ranch. Rustlers are coming around and threatening him. As Anna is out taking a walk, she realizes that someone is going to shoot Storme and cries out a warning saving his life. Storme and Anna fall for each other but Anna has secrets from her past.
