Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles Marisa is determined to find a way to control her own property and manage her own life.

Sean Flanagan is a rogue and a renegade - a man who lives by his wits and his gun. Then he meets Marisa Perez and finds himself faced with a situation that neither prowess nor power can master.
