"Esme Fine has come to the rugged, untamed West to kill the notoroius gunman, Billy Darling. Yet, as it is with Esme, nothing goes the way she planned and soon, she's hired Billy to track down her missing brother, and the two are put into a situation neither are comfortable in. She, the granddaughter of an English Duke, and he, the youngest son of a dirt farmer, explore the west and one another, learning from one another with every move they make. It's only when a heartbreaking secret is revealed and Esme flees back to England that Billy finally decides what matters in life, determined that he won't live out his life as Nobody's Darling."
