To save her family's farm from ruin, brave and stubborn Judy has only one hope: a crumbling map left by her late father. It points to a legendary treasure hidden deep within the treacherous Devil's Canyon. But the desert is unforgiving, and the road is paved with graves.
She needs a guide. She needs a protector. She needs Lorgan-a gunman with a dark past and a code of honor as rigid as steel. He knows the secrets of the map, and more importantly, he knows the dangers that lurk in the shadows.
Trailing them is Loco, a cunning and ruthless bandit with a twisted sense of humor. He believes the treasure is his wedding gift, and Judy is the prize. With his gang closing in, the chase turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse across the burning sands.
Loco wants a wedding. Judy wants survival. But Lorgan? He has prepared a different kind of payment for the bandits...
A DOWRY OF LEAD.
