The Lawman
Publisher Description
On the run from her ex-lover...
Jilted by a no-show husband...
And now mistaken for a whore in the Diamond Back Saloon...
Abigail Thornton doesn't think things can get any worse. That is until a single slap to a man's face starts a barroom brawl that lands her in the last place she expected to be.
Town Marshal Morgan Avery wants nothing more than to wash away the trail-dust and sleep for a week, preferably with a soft, willing woman by his side. Instead, he gets Abigail Thornton – all one hundred pounds of her thrust at him seconds before a fist connects with his face. Breaking up the fight takes more effort than he wants to admit and when the last man falls he finds Abigail still standing and not looking the least bit contrite.
Throwing her into the town jail for the night would salve his wounded pride and then he will let her go. Or that was the plan. When morning comes he finds himself oddly reluctant to do so. Miss Thornton is hiding something and he aims to find out what, even if he has to bed her to do so. But will one night in her bed be enough?

Cute story
Wild west spice
Great little steamy read. It was exciting and spicy. The plot is simple but classic. I would definitely spend the money to read more in this series!
Don’t bother
I don’t care for it when heroines are antagonistic for no better reason than to create tension. A person on the verge of homelessness, pursued and afraid for her life, but being snippy with the one person between her and that fate, over petty annoyance is ridiculous. That’s not strong or sassy, it’s stupid and unattractive.
