An heiress on the run from a dangerous man who wants her fortune. An honest deputy trying to clean up the 1880s town of Crooked Creek, Colorado. When fate puts them together, will greed and danger pull them apart, or will they be able to find their happily-ever-after? After Charlotte Albany’s father dies, she inherits a valuable gold mine out West. The only problem—a greedy relative is after her and will do whatever it takes to rob her of the fortune. Desperate to preserve her life and inheritance, Charlotte travels to Crooked Creek, Colorado in search of her uncle, the only man she believes can help her. Instead, Charlotte finds a young deputy in her uncle’s place, a man with uncommonly upright morals and lovely blue eyes. When Deputy Everett Myers first encounters Old Jez’s niece, he determines they may be of mutual help to each other. Between fighting off a gang of lawless men and protecting Old Jez’s niece, the last thing Everett expects is love. Will falling for Charlotte’s dark eyes and unmatched determination be his undoing? And will Charlotte falling for Everett mean giving up the independence she has so fiercely fought for? Read all the novels by Kate Marie Hearts of the West
