Tap Andrews knows that to stay alive in the Old West he needs three things: a fast horse, a quick hand, and enough smarts to know when to get out of town! Pepper Paige is sick and tired of fighting and emptiness that surround her as a dance-hall girl. And tired of fearing Jordan Beckett, a violent patron who has turned his attentions on her. Pepper gets her chance to escape when an injured woman in a stagecoach wreck dies in her room. The stranger, a refined and educated Christian, informs Pepper she was on her way west to marry a rancher she knew only through his letters. Pepper decides to assume Suzanne's identity and get a fresh start in life. But unknown to Pepper, the fiance is not really Zachary Hatcher, the Christian man who corresponded with Suzanne. He's been killed by Indians and a prison escapee named Tap Andrews decided to pass himself off as the rancher. What happens when the pair meet? When the smoke clears on this western adventure, will they end their charade and embrace the truth about each other's past?
