A cold case turns deadly hot when Texas Ranger Rory Yates goes on a no-holds-barred pursuit of a serial killer targeting young women.

He’s also a quick-draw champion, and at a weekend target-shooting competition, he’s impressed with archery champion Ava Cruz.

When a killer lures them to the edges of Texas’s most unforgiving landscape, Cruz and Yates discover that they have more in common than they realize.
