D.K. Deters
October 2021
Ambushed, Texas Ranger Jake Fontaine's a dead man until a Kansas spinster raises her shotgun in his defense. Despite the rogue lawman's obsession to bring in his brother's killer, duty demands he escort her to the next town.
Kat Collins is a thief, though an honorable one. She's on the run from controlling kin and aims to escape her past. Traveling with Jake offers the perfect cover—until her uncle finds them sharing a campfire and imposes his own kind of justice—a wedding.
Marriage will cost Jake his freedom, but refusing may cost him his life. Kat figures he's bound to recognize her on a wanted poster. Would sharing passionate nights in his arms be worth the peril?
Between The Pages
This story has the ‘wow’ factor – Wild west entertainment, Outstanding setting, and Wicked cowboys. The action fuels the plot with flying bullets, cattle rustling, vengeance, and mistrust. The author does excellent work of dropping the reader into the scenes of a rugged yet beautiful terrain. With a cast of cowboys, this story has a definite swooning element with Jake, Dallas, and Levi (who is deserving of his own book). Even the villains are interesting to learn about. The chemistry between Jake and Kat is heartwarming and believable. If I had to nitpick, I would have like the two years separation between Jake and Kat to be shorter and have Kat standoff against her cousins near the end. But those are small things that don’t disrupt the smooth and enjoyable read. A few twists in the plot makes this historical western romance a page turner, which I highly recommend.
