Despite the improbable odds of the half-breed orphan getting a fair trial after being accused of murdering the son of the mayor of Kansas City, frontier justice has given Faith No-Name a second chance at life. For the past two years, Faith's trust—indeed, her very life—has been in the hands of a talented young attorney. She's fallen in love with the handsome Irishman but knows no respectable man would consider marriage to a woman like her.

Defending the dark-haired, doe-eyed young woman accused of murder has tested Liam O'Brien's sense of justice in ways he never imagined. Every time he looks at her, he is reminded of the horrible raid that left his parents dead and his sister last seen riding on the back of a kidnapper's horse. He escaped, but only because he hid from the marauders like a coward. His heart is a dark tempest of rage, loathing, and guilt that makes it impossible for him to view Faith as anything other than an unwanted burden…except the more he learns about her, the more his prejudices are challenged.

Remanded into the custody of Liam's senior partner and assigned to work at their law office for one year as part of her sentence, Faith struggles to find her place in the bustling frontier town. It will take every ounce of courage she can muster to overcome a lifetime of abuse, but Faith soon discovers not everyone harbors resentment and bigotry. As Faith learns to stand tall and proud, only one burning question remains unanswered: Can Liam look past his hatred to see her for who she truly is?"
