Description
When Rebecca O’Reilly’s livelihood is taken away from her and her younger sister Cassie is almost beaten to death by an abusive husband, the sisters take charge of their lives and enter the male-dominated world of bounty hunting in order to gain their financial independence. Rebecca, the virgin Madame of a cattle town brothel, has outside forces conspiring to shut down her business and her sister wants to stay alive so they use their brains rather than their guns to bring in outlaws for the reward money. Their success at, “bringing in bad men for good money,” draws the ire of veteran bounty hunter, Jack Lawton, who wants to put them out of business. However, when he meets Rebecca for the first time he is smitten by her beauty. While the feeling is mutual, Rebecca can’t let love get in the way of her goal. However, as the women continue to bring in outlaws and run into Jack along the trail the spark that was lit when they first met irresistibly draws Jack and Rebecca together. When Jack saves Cassie after she is captured by an outlaw he then helps the sisters reach their goal and in doing so takes Rebecca for his bride.
