Stone Hammond is the best tracker in Texas. He never comes
home empty-handed. So when a wealthy railroad investor
hires
him to find his abducted granddaughter, Stone eagerly
accepts.

Charlotte Atherton, former headmistress of Sullivan's
Academy for Exceptional Youths, will do anything to keep
her
charges safe, especially the little girl entrusted to her
care after her mother's death. Charlotte promised Lily's
mother she'd keep the girl away from her unscrupulous
grandfather, and nothing will stop Charlotte from
fulfilling
that pledge. Not even the handsome bounty hunter with
surprisingly honest eyes who comes looking for them.

When the teacher he's after produces documentation that
shows she's the little girl's legal guardian, Stone must
reevaluate everything he's been led to believe. Is Miss
Atherton villain or victim? She acts more like a loving
mother than an abductress, and the children in her care
clearly adore her. Should Stone break his perfect record?

Then a new danger threatens, and Charlotte is forced to
trust the man sent to destroy her. Stone becomes
determined
to protect what he once sought to tear apart. Besides,
he's
ready to start a new pursuit: winning Charlotte's heart.
