A case gone wrong sends Devon on a drunken ride to Nitika's side. Unwilling to accept the possible death of his partner, Devon spends his time at the ranch remembering the cases the he, Raven, and Nitika were involved in. Hunter didn't know about Nitika's life as a detective and was very interested in the stories. From her hiring by Allan Pinkerton himself to her own kidnapping, Nitika Brodie proved she could handle herself in any situation. Not only did she gain the respect of her fellow detectives, she proved a woman could do the job just as good as a man. If not better.
