Way Out West is the last place city girl Callie Sumner expects to find love. Her escape to the remote fantasy western town is a desperate effort to leave her unhappy past behind and start anew. But the hardships of the Old West throw her for a loop until a handsome gambler shows her the West through his eyes.

Benton “Rand” Randall leaves the corporate rat race to find anonymity in Way Out West. What he finds is a breath of fresh air in a sassy saloon girl who warms his frozen heart. But his past catches up when a vengeance-seeking former employee threatens everything he values, including the town and Callie.

Will he lose Callie if he exposes his identity to save the town and his corporate empire? Can she love a man she knows only as a gambler?
