"An engaging Western romance"

Legendary bounty hunter Jack Skull arrives in Abilene seeking a serial killer stalking women in the area. To Anne Ross, Jack is the MAN, as he seems so exciting. Anne especially notices the way people healthily avoid Jack and that when he forces interaction, most people are uncomfortable around him until they can safely get away from him. Knowing that failed marriages run throughout her family and she doesn't want to add to the family legacy, Anne believes he can keep her from marrying someone she refuses to spend her life with.

Jack has enough on his plate tracking the murderer who has killed young ladies all over the state. He has no time for this innocent Miss, but also feels he needs to keep the feisty Anne safe from his prey as she fits the victims' profile. However, insuring her safety from a killer seems mild compared to keeping her protected from himself.

This is an engaging Western romance that stars two delightful lead protagonists who the audience will cherish. Jack is an intriguing hero who believes he has crossed the line too often for Anne to love him. Anne is an intrepid individual who loves deeply but does not trust in forever. Though the final emergency seems improbable, readers will relish this charming story.

Women were dying. Pretty women, lonely women, women who gave their hearts to a man who promised happily ever after, but delivered death.

A stranger steamed into Abilene on a locomotive, a loner with a macabre legend attached to his name. Bounty hunter Jack Skull claimed he was tracking a con man and a murderer, but Anne felt as if he was pursuing her. Women were dying from succumbing to just such a pursuit. Would she be next? Not if she was smart and listened to her head and not her heart. Problem was, it was touch to pay attention to anything when Jack Skull was around.

Though she'd sworn matrimony was not for her--it seemed to backfire for women in her family--somehow she found herself saying, "I do." When Jack took her in his arms and lowered his lips to hersss, reason flew out the window, and she could well believe his would be a kiss to die for.
