Echo Sackett lives up to her family's reputation - she is smart, good with a gun and bold when the cause is just. She is the only one in her family able to head to Philadelphia to collect an inheritance. Once there, Echo realizes that James White, a conniving lawyer, is out to get her inheritance.

With that arsenal, the odds look pretty good for the pretty heroine!
