She didn't mean to become an outlaw.
She just happens to be very good at it.
Kit Weston has been living her best criminal life, thank you very much. Alongside her twin brother, Cale, and Logan Wilson-a man whose charm should honestly be illegal-she's been relieving California's greediest politicians and land barons of their excess cash.
It's a system that works.
Until it doesn't.
When a job goes sideways, Kit is thrown from a wagon and wakes up in chains.
Back in Williamsburg, Sheriff Will Mueller is officially done with her outlaw nonsense. His solution?
Marry Sheriff Jacob Calder and go straight-
or hang.
No pressure.
Now Kit has one year to prove she can behave, be respectable, and absolutely not commit any crimes. Which would be a lot easier if trouble didn't follow her like a loyal dog... and if Jacob Calder didn't look at her like he's already decided she's worth saving.
Because Kit Weston doesn't do "good behavior."
She does plans, escape routes, and a healthy amount of chaos.
But this time, the stakes are different.
Because the more she fights the life being forced on her...
the more she risks losing the one thing she never meant to gamble-
her heart.
