Pearl's Redemption

2008

For fans of this series, Pearl finally gets her own story. If you've read the original story, you'll notice that I've toned down the love scenes so that a broader group of readers might enjoy reading about the resilient Miss Pearl. Don't worry, sparks still fly between Davidson Smythe and Pearl Lloyd, but readers will get to see more of the love that is deep in their hearts for one another. Pearl Loyd would do anything to keep her ranch and protect her girls. When Davidson Smythe shows up on her doorstep claiming to have bought her ranch, she shoots first and asks questions second. Davidson Smythe wants to start over, leaving Boston and his brother's suspicious death behind. Sight unseen, he spends his half of the inheritance on a ranch out in Colorado, only to find the ranch occupied by a battered angel who can shoot like the devil.
