AN ENTICING WIDOW...A GUNMAN WITH A HIDDEN PURPOSE...SWEPT AWAY BY DANGER AND AN ALL-CONSUMING PASSION... Widowhood freed Holly Dancer from the shame of her marriage. Billy was dead...murdered. She vowed to turn her back on love and become and independent woman. But when Jackson Ledgeway Steele sauntered into Deadwood Gulch and saved her life, Holly saw her fate in the gunslinger's smoky eyes. He had uprooted himself, erased every trace of his former life. His prestigious past had vanished like dust on the wind. He thought his secrets were safe, that he could solve Billy Dancer's murder without revealing his true identity. But he hadn't reckoned on Holly Dancer...and the need for love she unleashed in him. Shyly, warily, Holly gentled to Jack's touch, revelling in sensations she had never known, sharing her shameful past—until she discovered the man she trusted had betrayed her. He couldn't let her go. His precious, beautiful Holly was in danger, and for her, he would risk everything...

Stef Ann Holm was born in Southern California near Hollywood. With the fantasy worlds of Disneyland and Universal Studios at her doorstep, her imagination was stimulated at an early age. She attended Chatsworth High where Kevin Spacey, Mare Winningham and Val Kilmer entertained on the school's stage. As a semester elective, Stef Ann enrolled in drama and played a Fandango hostess in the chorus of Sweet Charity. It was the beginning and the end of her acting and singing career. She got a "C" in Drama and an "A" in Creative Writing. She sold her first romance in 1987. While waiting for a load of laundry to complete at the laundromat, Stef Ann made up the name for her heroine, Camry, when she saw a Toyota Camry parked outside in the lot. Who knew that model would end up being so popular, making her in-depth research seem so shallow. Stef Ann has had twenty-three novels and one novella published. Her editor calls her contemporary romances, "Slices of life stories about real people." Stef Ann lives in Boise, Idaho with her husband, extended family and beloved Beagle.
