What better opportunity to put a bullet in Dan Tyler's heart than being his trusted wife? Murder is Jenny Linden's motive in answering the former prison guard's ad for a mail order bride. She's ready to avenge her father's death in a Confederate prison camp. Packing her purse with a revolver -- and a Bible, to convey a false identity -- she sets out to Winslow, Arizona, to marry him, kill him, sell his ranch, and return a rich woman. Can the light of love break into the darkness of Jenny's schemes?
