Turn-of-the-century Wyoming didn't offer much mystery for a modern-thinking reporter like Victoria Garrison--not before a tall, dark stranger calling himself Laramie rode onto her father's property. Then Victoria had more mystery than she could handle! Why would her Papa need to hire a range detective? Why was Laramie so interested in local ranchers and a long-ago lynching?

The more Victoria uncovered about the haunted stranger, the more she feared her heart would be stolen. And if she kept the seemingly honest-to-gosh outlaw's secrets, let him steal her kisses, became an accomplice in his dangerous desires, the least of her problems would be... Explaining Herself.
