A reformed outlaw might be this troubled saloon owner’s last chance at love… and survival. Miss Charlotte, co-owner of the Red Eye Saloon, has weathered every crude remark imaginable for a woman in her vocation. Though the insults sting, her inner strength pushes through the pain and makes the most of the tough hand she’s been dealt. She didn’t choose this life; greed, betrayal, violence, and death thrust her into it. Now fate has returned in the form of a dangerous con man masquerading as her partner’s brother. With her livelihood threatened, her only hope lies with the new law in town, a man from her past she can’t forget, and the only one she still trusts. Seth Walker, a bounty hunter with a notorious past, never intended to settle. But his reputation for outwitting fugitives leads Mayor Aaron Jackson to tap the clever and capable outlaw to be Laramie’s new sheriff. While booming, the frontier town is still rough and untamed, and the prominent red-light district is teeming with the dregs of society. There he finds a familiar face transformed, a fiery spirit battling a world determined to break her. Charlotte’s survival hangs in the balance, and Seth is the one man who can save her. Despite their undeniable attraction, Charlotte resists Seth’s charm, determined not to let his ruin be the price he pays for rescuing her. But he is as relentless as he is handsome and doesn’t care what the townsfolk say. Can he convince her that their powerful connection is worth fighting for? Will her hero help her reclaim the dream of love and family she thought was forever beyond her reach?
