The Devil's Backbone (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798988985990)

There's never been an evil man that Cassidy Callaghan couldn't sniff out. Every bounty she ropes in is a stone turned over in her search for the one man she hasn't been able to find-Jack Ransom-the man who murdered her parents.

Outlaw-turned-lawman James Moone dutifully stands guard, always awaiting Cassidy's return. She's got a sour disposition and an even worse temper, but he's loved her longer than he's realized. Moone is determined to protect her from the ghosts of his past and Jack Ransom, whether she likes it or not.

When Cassidy finally gets her shot at Ransom, she commits to playing the role of a lady she isn't. If she earns his favor, it'll be easy to stab him in the heart, especially if she holds it in the palm of her hand. Fearing she's gone too deep into her role, Moone is desperate to steer Cassidy back to her original plan, but she isn't about to let anything stand in her way.

Not corsets, danger, betrayal-or a complicated craving.
