Opal Cahill was raised as the only girl in a family full of rough and tumble men. They taught her to ﬁght and survive and taught her to push aside fantasies, because reality is as harsh as the rough side of a cat’s tongue. But she could never let go of reading about adventures of life in the west and dreaming that she might one day become a Pinkerton agent, like her hero, Kate Warne.

But when her father passes, she’s stuck living in Atlantic City with her cousin who sometimes has them living in rundown shacks and sometimes, high end hotels. Until one day, that odd lifestyle catches up with them both. When Opal must choose a place to go out west, she heads to the Pinkerton oﬃce in Denver in the hopes that they might still interview her though it’s months after they originally advertised they were accepting applicants.

Caleb Wade has just come back from going deep undercover. He returns to the Pinkerton oﬃce and runs into one of the most stubborn, frustrating, and interesting women he’s ever met. When he ﬁnds out that she’s not only his new partner but his new wife, he digs in his heels before he decides to treat it as another undercover act.
