Annabelle St. Clair has the voice of an angel and the devil at her heels. Running from a murder she didn't commit, the world-renowned opera singer is being reduced to singing in saloons until she finds a handsome gunslinger willing to take her to safety in San Francisco. A restless bounty hunter, Shelley was more at home on the range than in Annabelle's polite society. Yet on the rugged trail, he couldn't resist sharing with her a passion as vast and limitless as the Western sky. But despite the ecstasy, Annabelle trusts no one, especially not a man with dangerous secrets - secrets that threaten to ruin their lives and destroy their love.

I really enjoyed this story. It is different than any other historical romance I've read. There is some delightful dialogue, including extemporaneous bawdy limericks. I became mentally and emotionally involved in the story. The ending was satisfying.
