Mail-order bride Matilda Thornton is a prim and proper lady from Boston on her way to Arizona in order to meet her new husband for the first time. On the stagecoach heading west, she finds herself in the company of three men she would normally not associate with: the Apache boy she rescues from a side show, a ruthless bounty hunter and his handsome prisoner. Though wary of her companions, she is willing to risk her life to save all of theirs while travelling through Indian Territory. But it’s her willingness to give up her innocence and virtue to one of these sultry strangers that is most unforeseen. Will Matilda be able to handle the perils of her journey? And in which stranger’s strong arms will she take refuge?
