ALL SHE WANTS IS VENGEANCE

Disguised as a man, Josephine O'Malley strolls into a Dodge City mercantile with one thing on her mind: to even the score with the man who murdered her husband. What she doesn't count on is Fletcher Collins -- the handsome and irresistible new marshal in town -- bursting through the doors of the mercantile with guns blazing…and a plan to stop her from pulling the trigger.

HE ONLY WANTS TO PROTECT HER

There's a new marshal in town, but he's fighting inner demons of his own. Fletcher Collins is a man who has known his share of heartache, and when he finds himself apprehending a gorgeous widow for murder, he begins to re-evaluate what it means to be a lawman. But if Fletcher is going to keep the widow out of prison -- and figure out what's really going on in Dodge -- he's going to have to learn how to follow his gut. Unfortunately his gut is telling him that Josephine O'Malley is exactly the kind of woman who could make him break all the rules…
