NEVER!" Lacey Smithsonian swore she would never go back to Sagebrush, Colorado, that scruffy hard-luck Western boomtown where she'd earned her reporter's spurs. But three young women there have been murdered and left barefoot, and the accused is her old boyfriend, Sagebrush rancher Cole Tucker. Lacey heads out West, in her best cowboy boots, to help prove Tucker's innocence, and to resolve the last of her old feelings for the man she once loved and left. Naturally, Lacey's plans don't sit well with her current beau, private eye Vic Donovan, who has his own personal history in Sagebrush and decides to follow to ensure her safety. Also in pursuit of the story-and Smithsonian-are her Washington D.C. editor Douglas MacArthur Jones and fellow reporter Tony Trujillo. But Tucker kicks over everyone's game plan, abducting Lacey in a daring courthouse escape. On the run with her old flame, deep in the badlands of northern Colorado in stolen vehicles and on horseback, with Vic and the sheriff's posse, and a vicious killer, in hot pursuit, Lacey's world turns upside down. She doesn't know who trust: Tucker or Vic? The law, or her own feelings? Or her reporter's instincts? It's a wild ride when Smithsonian takes the reins on solving this mystery.
