Marshal in Petticoats

Book one in the Halsey Brothers' steamy historical western romance series—where sparks fly faster than bullets, and love is the most dangerous gamble of all.

Darcy Duncan never meant to shoot a bank robber… and she definitely never meant to become marshal. But in a town plagued by bad luck and worse secrets, her accident-prone reputation might be the least of her problems. Fiercely independent and devoted to protecting her younger brother, Darcy refuses to bow to a corrupt mayor—or to the dangerously charming drifter who keeps asking questions she can't afford to answer.

Gil Halsey rides into town with one goal: find his boss's wayward son and bring him home to secure the foreman position he's worked hard for. He doesn't have time for distractions—especially not a stubborn, sharp-tongued female marshal who stirs up trouble…and something hotter. But when Gil realizes Darcy is being framed for a bank heist she didn't commit, his mission gets tangled with hers in ways neither of them expected.

With outlaws closing in, secrets unraveling, and undeniable chemistry burning between them, Darcy and Gil are forced into an uneasy alliance. But in a town built on lies, trusting each other might be the riskiest move of all.
