When Judd finds her, he has half a mind to ride on and leave her to the cutthroats who have captured her—but he can’t do it, despite her earlier deception. Judd draws down on the two outlaws, but they won’t go peacefully. When the firefight ends and the smoke clears, Faye proves her worth. Risking his life for her, Judd has been wounded, and needs the care only she can provide.
Faye has been making bad choices ever since she left home, and Judd has been a loner since the age of seventeen. Putting their lives on the line in the hunt for killer Lonnie Sims has brought two UNLIKELY PARTNERS together as nothing else ever could.
A believable, gritty western novel with plenty of gun smoke.

The two men,
with six-guns tucked into their holsters, walked casually out of the marshal’s
office as if they had just conducted a little chitchat with the official. They
mounted their horses and trotted to the front of the bank, where they
dismounted and tied their reins to a hitch rail.

Higgins’s dark eyes darted up and down the street. When they figured that all
was clear, they walked inside.Be sure and leave a comment for a chance to win a free copy of the ebook.
