Bookroo's summary

Orphaned Annyrose Smith finds herself entangled with Joaquín Murieta, a feared outlaw seeking justice. As they navigate mistaken identities and daring heists, Annyrose hopes to reunite with her brother. Can this unlikely alliance with the Mexican Robin Hood lead her to family, or will the wild chases and robberies prove too perilous? Discover a tale of courage and unexpected friendship in the heart of California's gold rush.

From the publisher

Annyrose Smith is a true child of calamity, but she is determined to overcome it. So what if she’s an orphan? So what if she’s stuck with the vilest landlady in California, while her brother’s off trying to strike gold? So what if Joaquín Murieta and his band of notorious outlaws swoop in and take her away? The fearsome bandit thinks Annyrose can help him in his quest for justice, and she thinks he can help her search for her long-lost brother. She’s not about to let anything stop her, not the mistaken identities, the daring robberies, the wild chases, or her unlikely friendship with the Mexican Robin Hood.
