If she turns him in, she loses all chance of uncovering the truth about local cattle rustling, blackmail, even a train-robbing syndicate!

But after one forgettable kiss, the young beauty lost sight of everything except the rugged sheepman--and he did the same.

It was only when the experience proved Lord Collier more of a man than she'd thought--and herself more of a woman--that she began to silently thank her father. Then Laurel realized that her first step to joy had been in...Proving Herself.

WILD WESTERN DESIRE 1/1993 ISBN:0821740288 Katy Halliday leaped from the train the moment it stopped in Durango, Colorado. She intended to meet as many gunslingers, badmen, cattle rustlers and dance hall girls as possible so she could write her own dime novel about the Wild West. But when she spotted Rait Caldwell, Katy froze in her tracks. He looked like a badman himself all dressed in black from low crowned Stetson to spurless boots, a silver handled Colt Peacemaker strapped to his muscular thigh. He was also the handsomest man she'd ever met. Katy thought she'd melt any second under that steely blue gaze of his, for this gunfighter had a look that filled her heart with yearning for the rough and ready loving his virile body and its strong embrace promised to provide. Rait was just doing old Richard Halliday a favor when he agreed to meet the train from New York City. But he didn't realize Halliday meant for him to squire the man's pretty niece around town so she could do personal "research." He'd show this vivacious and clearly innocent young beauty a few things about the wild ways of the west she hadn't already planned, beginning with a gentle lesson on love in the saddle guaranteed to bring her to the heights of ecstasy over and over again.

The Candy woman was one of the few positive memories he had of the town of Tanglewood - and only she could brew a love potion.

Sweets for the Sweet Matilda Candy had been content to remain unwed, but when the handsome Mr. Harper appeared at her door, everything changed. She wanted him. But the man was seeking aid in seducing the most beautiful girl in Mississippi, and he seemed to have even fewer scruples than those children she fed confections because they claimed their parents didn't feed them.

Now Ben had sworn revenge on his father's grave, and he was back in town. Back to give the three remaining little Piggs - lovely Cecilia and her young sisters - a taste of their own medicine. He'd drag their family name through the mud, and see to it that, whether their homes were made of straw, sticks or brick, the sisters would ultimately be forced out of town.

But suddenly he found himself the confused one - memorized by her stunning looks, captivated by her gentle heart. And it wouldn't be long before Ben found himself questioning, despite all his huffing and puffing, whether it was revenge he really wanted - or for the lovely Ms. Pigg to just let him come in.

The seven newly orphaned Shorter sisters were in danger of being separated, and only a prissy schoolmarm named Sarah Prince could save them. And while the Shorter sisters knew that the bewitching Sarah was just what the wounded marshal was looking for, he didn't know it yet.

Still, with his quick wit and his smoldering eyes, Cyrus seemed an unfair comparison. And it had been Calvin who'd written the letters she'd received, hadn't it? Those passion-filled missives had left her aching with desire long into the torrid Texas nights. Whoever had penned those notes had seduced her as thoroughly as with a kiss, and it was to that man she'd give her heart.
