説明
Galt Saunders, jailed in a backwater town for a murder he didn't commit, is determined to escape with the help of Elizabeth Barnett, the jilted prospective daughter-in-law of the sheriff, who now is little better than his servant. She delivers Galt's meals, she feeds the dogs, she minds the office, and Galt watches her every day, all day, waiting, planning, dreaming, until the moment is right and he takes Elizabeth hostage and makes his escape with her.
Wary, suspicious, tight, closed up Lizzie who was looking for any way to escape the drudgery of being the sheriff's object of pity. Never mind her fascination with Galt and the inexorable tension between them. He's determined she's coming with him. But what he gets is not a willing seductress, but rather an unwilling captive who is determined to be free of him at any cost. Until the first kiss, the first caress, the first blaze of passion that threatens to consume them and throw all his plans to hell and back.
