At the close of Free Falling, Darian Woodward was last seen leading a mutiny against his cruel commander. He had changed, somewhat, from the young, honorable, blue-eyed Civil War hero, but his fate still looked promising. However, mutinies seldom go as planned, and within a few months, Darian and his loyal band of followers have been branded outlaws. As Darian seeks to restore his reputation and pursue justice, his name just keeps getting darker and darker to the inhabitants of 19th Century Arizona. So when Emily Morgan heads back in time to set him straight, she gets more than she bargained for - Darian intends to face down his enemy no matter what the history books say.

If Emily can fight her attraction to the unwittingly sexy desperado, she might just save his life. But neither his life, nor her resistance, seem all that likely to survive.
