Alternate cover edition of ASIN B083HL5KRH Bolt Sanderson answers the call for more agents at the brand spanking new Pinkerton office in Abilene, Texas, determined to add his unique brand of skills to fighting the rise in cattle rustling and border crimes. He’s more than ready to leave the desk jockeys at his last office and sink his teeth into some real action. He especially likes the part about acquiring a mail-order bride. Looks like ordering the perfect partner will be as easy as picking out a gift from his favorite catalogue—right up to the point where his stormy-eyed, sassy-mouthed bride shows up to accept his hand in marriage. Agent Scarlett Martinez was raised by a widowed father with four older brothers, so she’s confident she can handle anything her new Pinkerton task masters decide to throw her way. She can shoot, hunt, and track as well as any man. What she can’t do is simper and flirt like a debutante, which is exactly what her new employers seem to expect of her when they unite her in holy matrimony before her first assignment. Both Bolt and Scarlett are privately given the opportunity to refuse the assignment and transfer to a different office, no questions asked and no marriage required, if they don’t feel they are suited. But if they stay in Abilene, they’ll be going deep undercover together as husband and wife, and it’ll be the real deal—just like everything else on this all-or-nothing new task force!
