The Ballad of an Outlaw

HERETIC. DESERT SIREN. THE DEVIL OF IRVING HOLLOW. OUTLAW.

1876

Daphne Goode has been executed by the state of Texas four times. She's hunted by the Texas Rangers after being accused of murder, train robbing, horse stealing, disruption and inciting violence. Tales of the gang of bandits she commands, and the stories of her gun-slinging prowess, have spread far and wide. Earning her the moniker, "fastest gun in the west." Her ability to seemingly magically bend bullets and rumors of her resurrections fuel her myth. When she and her band of outcasts capture Ransom McEntire, son of an oil tycoon, he's presumed dead, and Daphne Goode disappears. Two years later, Ransom stumbles into the Irving Hollow Sheriff's office with a warning: Daphne Goode is coming for you.

AJ Jones is heartsick. Reeling after a messy public break up she'll stop at nothing to blend in. Her to do list is simple: keep her head down, keep her friends close, keep a lid on all of her rage. When she's cast in the town musical as the enigmatic Daphne Goode, she's thrust into the spotlight. She'll have to learn to gunsling, resist the guy she knows she can't have, and resurrect Daphne from her grave, one last time. Ancient power collides with the 21st century as AJ becomes what she desperately desires not to be: outlawed.
