Mia finally found herself in Tombstone Arizona, where her brother Jonas, married a dancing girl and operates a gambling hall and bar. But Tombstone is in the middle of a gang war, with the town divided between the Powell gang (technically, Powell brothers and cousins), and Redford gang (same idea). with the Dooley gang hanging around. But the Dooley gang are composed of rustlers and thieves and murderers... Killed a family and burned the ranch to the ground... and paid off the sheriff to look the other way. Mia found herself being an unwilling pawn in the power struggle... and being courted by Carson Powell... who's willing to learn civility and diplomacy to be with her...
The book gets a bit confusing as romance gets shunted to the background. A lot of the plot doesn't involve Mia and Carson, but rather, Dooley gang plotting who to attack next, and the town's counter-plot, but is it against the Dooleys, or is it against each other? Adventure is good, romance is kinda meh. 3.5/5
