Motivated
by a childhood promise, Paris Garrett travels to the wilds of Arizona
Territory (1877) to seek fame as a stage actress. Never mind that she
doesn’t possess a lick of experience or that her true passion is
songwriting. Before he died, her papa encouraged her to reach for the
stars. She promised to lasso the moon! She’s already slipped free
of her over-protective brothers. Nothing and no one, especially some
badge-wearing Romeo, is going to stand in her way.
Joshua Grant’s life went from diamonds to dirt in less time than a rattler strikes. His uncle bequeathed him an opera house he doesn’t want, forcing him to quit the law enforcement job he loved. The topper: In order to keep his sidewinder snake of a cousin from inheriting, Josh has to honor his uncle’s will and marry within two weeks. Life can’t get much worse, and then he falls for an eccentric, spitfire songwriter with a mysterious past and a passel of troublesome admirers. Marrying Paris is about as smart as kissing a coyote, but that’s exactly what Josh intends to do--whether she likes it or not. Together they could realize their dreams. That’s if they don't drive each other crazy first!

true identity. If the blackmailer exposes her double life her small
town friends and the man of her dreams will never speak to her again.

With two unwanted suitors and a blackmailer hounding her, Seth pretends to be that poet so he can stay close and protect her. It’s what his new boss would want. Unfortunately, Seth develops genuine feelings for the passionate book lover, which risks his future as a Peacemaker, especially when he learns she is not what she seems. More jolting . . . neither is he.

Famous
for bending the law to get his man, former Wells Fargo detective Rome
Garrett signs on with the Peacemaker Alliance, a covert government
agency intent on taming the west. His first assignment, bringing down
cold-blooded killer Bulls-eye Brady, will help return his tarnished
career to glory. Even better, when he learns he must team up with the
only woman who ever broke his heart, Rome considers it a bonus. He
vows to show his old flame how it feels to love and lose, vanquishing
the hellcat from his dreams once and for all.
Retired cardsharp, Kat Simmons, has been in hiding from Bulls-eye Brady for six years. Now she’s being asked to risk her obscurity and join a whirlwind poker tournament to bait Brady into reclaiming the woman who "got away." Trapping Brady, a man she fears, means teaming up with Rome Garrett, the only man she ever loved. She should feel safer having the Peacemaker with her, but the passion that reignites between them is frightening and past betrayals difficult to forget, especially when a secret is revealed that could doom any chance at love.
