Publisher's Synopsis
Gray 'Quick Shot' Woodson desperately wants to retire from his gunfighting days. His goal in life is to find a nice quiet spot where no one knows him so he can retire in peace and take a good long nap. He's extremely good at his job, though he goes to great lengths to not have to prove that - which is more difficult than he'd like with people constantly wanting to either learn his secrets or be the next in line to try and kill him. All he wants is peace and quiet. Instead, he gets Mercy. Mercy Douglas has been fending off a greedy landowner ever since she'd moved to Desolation, Colorado. But since her father's death, she's known no peace. So when Gray comes wandering onto her property in the midst of her latest dispute, she jumps at the opportunity to get a little gun power on her side and announces to everyone that they are engaged.
