Synopsis:
Pinkerton agent, Parker Reams, is stuck
in Nebraska without a horse, and he’s flat broke. Parker is prepared to stow
away in a boxcar headed west to track and kill the men who murdered his
brother. Out of the blue, a stranger
offers Parker traveling money and free passage to South Pass City, Wyoming,
that’s the very town where the gang he’s after is headed. To repay the stranger
for his generosity, Parker agrees to track down the man’s fiancée and break off
an unwanted engagement. Meeting with this fiancée should only take a day and be
but a brief delay in his plan of revenge.
CallidoraTruworthy is an independent
woman with her mind set on being single. To end her father’s matchmaking,
Callidora has hired an actor to pose as a horrible fiancé. The scrawny man in
her tintype photo arrives on today’s stage. Based on looks alone, she’s sure
her father’s going to dislike him. She has quite a shock when a rugged, sexy,
six foot of strapping cowboy shows up as her fiancé. This man’s all wrong for
the part of her fiancé. There’s no refund on a plan such as hers, and it’s too
late to request a replacement actor. She’ll just have to coach this macho
cowboy into acting more like a wimp and hope for the best.
What happens when a perfect plan gets a
tangled twist? All hell breaks loose.
Excerpt #3:
Parker
rubbed a hand along his unshaved jaw thinking there was only one thing to do
when memory fails you. You throw the crap back the direction from which it came
and you see what shit sticks to the wall. “Your men have the gold off the
stage. There’s no reason to detain these ladies further.”
Mrs.
Dobson gave a condescending chuckle. “Parker, you know darn well there was no
gold on the stage. You and the sheriff switched the gold with bags of sand.”
Suddenly,
there came a woman’s scream from the upper level. Then the sound of more than
one set of footsteps racing down the stairs in the hallway to the right of the
parlor.
An
angry man yelled, “When I get hold of you, you little slut, you’ll pay for every
pain you’ve given me.”
Then
the beautiful brunette rushed into the room. Parker’s blood boiled at the sight
of a gash on her cheek and part of her dress torn since last he’d seen her
through his looking glass. Whoever did this to her deserved a good bashing.
Parker
glimpsed relief on the lady’s face when their eyes met, and she ran across the
room and wrapped her arms around him. He was in utter shock. His heart skipped
several beats as he enveloped her securely in his arms. A snippet of recall
hit—he’d held her a time or two before like this.
He’d
right the wrong that was done to the lovely lass if for no other reason than to
get to know her better after this was all over.
“Parker,
I’m so glad to see you.”
Her
frantic breathing teased his neck. Amnesia or not, this lady with her trembling
body pressed to him, it was a hell of time to have such an arousing experience.
He’d love to explore a different way to make her tremble with his touch and
kisses. But right this minute, their present hostage situation overruled such
pleasures.
“Get your hands off my fiancée,” Morris
snarled. He stormed across the room and reached for the girl clinging to Parker
in fear.
The
woman in Parker’s arms flinched, and he reacted by batting Morris’s hand away.
“The lady prefers my company.” He looked in those violet eyes, and his heart
was set on fire. “Who beat you?”
His
question had an immediate, nonverbal answer when an irate man, with the rage of
a red flagged bull, stampeded into the room. “I’m gonna get you, bitch.”
