Product Description

He followed the trail of an outlaw...

In rough-and-tumble Arizona Territory, the desert sun burned hotter than Pinkerton agent Gabriel Winter's need to bring an elusive stagecoach robber to justice. There, he quickly encountered a formidable obstacle—Megan Kearney, the suspect's daughter. He wondered how such a rare beauty had avoided marriage in a town crawling with bachelors...Until he discovered she was holding out for true love. On top of that, the spitfire spinster hotly defended her father's innocence. For some reason, Gabriel wanted to believe not just her naïve claims about her father, but her outlandish romantic notions as well. Still, no outlaw had ever slipped through his fingers, and he wasn't about to risk that hard-earned reputation for the pleasures promised in Megan's fiery gaze...


Into the arms of a forbidden woman
Megan had to find her father before Gabriel did—which meant monitoring his every move. Accompanying him amid the saloons and brothels crowding Tucson's dusty streets, Megan intended to clear her father's name—even if it meant using her feminine wiles to charm the city slicker detective. She would prove that the maddeningly self-assured Gabriel had underestimated her resolve. But Megan soon discovered that she had underestimated the powerful feelings one man could arouse in a heart that ached for passion...and everlasting love.

This review is from: Lawman (Zebra Splendor Historical Romances) (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this book in one evening (stifling giggles at 5 a.m. so I wouldn't wake my sleeping hubby). It was funnier than all get out with a different plot, likeable characters and great dialogue. A pinkerton agent (gabriel winter) heads to a stage station in arizona to arrest a thief. Instead he encounters the alleged thief's high spirited, devoted, full of hell daughter who not only does not believe her papa's guilty but does everything she can contrive to prevent gabe from finding and arresting him. Gabriel is a "facts" and "by the book" lawman who doesn't "believe" in people so megan's loyalty is perplexing to him. Especially since her papa had stolen her hard saved nest egg
and gone off to gamble it away already. Megan, at 28, is a tough on the outside, vulnerable on the inside gal who no one has ever loved....except her papa. And she will do anything to help him.
The story is simple and cute (although both characters eventually share their very traumatizing youth which gives you pause)but the predicaments Megan gets herself into and the craziness gabe goes through to undo her many plots is truly funny. I absolutely enjoyed every minute. I had started by reading lisa plumley's "the outlaw" and never finished it because I didn't care for it, but am so glad I gave this author a second chance. The lawman is plain fun. (oh, the one thing I hated.....which the authors have no say in, is that the guy on the cover doesn't look like gabe...don't you hate it when the publishers don't take an extra minute to at least match hair color with the characters!!!!) Perhaps if we mention it enough, some one will catch on...
