Emmaline Drake is the step-daughter of a bank robber and the daughter of a former prostitute. She's currently working as a barmaid when she meets Hunter Jameson and she knows that he's trouble.  This is proved when he kidnaps her to exchange her for his step-brother's life.  She eventually escapes back to the brothel where she was born determined to forge a better life for herself and her step-sisters. The only commodity she has is her virginity which she decides to auction off, not expecting that Hunter will be her highest bidder.  Can they overcome the roadblocks on the way to love?
 
Interesting but somehow underwhelming.
