I never enjoyed being a wanted man until
the day Miss Esmerelda Fine marched into the Tumbleweed
Saloon and pointed her derringer straight at my heart. Who
would have guessed some duke's granddaughter--an awfully
pretty one at that--would come gunning for the likes of
me, a notorious bounty hunter with a taste for whiskey and
a fondness for peach pie? Lucky for me, she was a mighty
poor shot. Instead of killing me, she hired me to find her
runaway brother. Little did she know she was about to make
the acquaintance of a flea-bitten basset hound named
Sadie, the infamous Darling Gang, and my shotgun-toting
kinfolk. And little did I know she was about to lead me on
a merry chase that would take us from a bungled bank
robbery to the very first Wild West show to tour London,
England.
I should have turned down her offer. I should
have resisted her charms. But I didn't.
Because there
comes a time in every man's life when he's got nothing
left to lose...but his heart.
