Ever since the day her father sold her dearest friend (and half-sister) away from their home in Louisiana, Meredith Seaton has sworn to do whatever she can to find her and help others on the road to freedom. Her pose as an empty-headed, flirtatious belle, is the perfect masquerade for a courier. The last thing she needs is her unwanted attraction to a Mississippi steamboat scalawag and slave owner. Quinn Devereaux, river boat captain who endured ten years of captivity after being betrayed by a woman, has sworn never to lose his heart again. He can’t understand his attraction to the silly and vain Meredith who travels on his boat as a passenger. Yet for some odd reason, he is drawn to a woman who represents everything he despises. Worse, any relationship might jeopardize his work with the Underground Railroad and the people who’d become his salvation. And yet . . .

Hired to scare Willow and her band of outcasts off their ranch, Lobo, a notorious Apache-raised gunslinger, is ill-prepared for the feelings of passion he experiences when he comes face to face with the lovely Willow. Reprint.

NOTORIOUS Their rivalry was as fierce as the attraction between them. They were kindred spirits who had walked on the dark side of life: Marsh, the strong lover she both feared and hungered for; Cat, the angel who could destroy him...or give him back his soul. A SENSUOUS CAT The owner of the most popular saloon in San Francisco, Catalina Hilliard used her exotic beauty to draw men into the Silver Slipper. Long ago she had vowed never to give away her heart, but she hadn't counted on the striking good looks of Marsh Canton... A DARK AND DEADLY GUNMAN Catalina knew Marsh Canton was trouble the moment she first saw him. Something in his gray eyes warned that he was a dangerous man. He was not the first to attempt to open a rival saloon next door to the Silver Slipper, but she saw a steely strength in him that had been missing from the men she'd driven out of business. Even more perilous to Cat's plans was the spark of desire that flared between them...a desire that was about to spin her carefully orchestrated life out of control.
