Rachel Davis would rather risk death than remain a prisoner
of the ruthless man intent on gaining her inheritance.
Trapped on a private train with the villain, she makes a
desperate bid for escape and runs into the arms of an
unlikely savior. Aristocratic, arrogant, and deeply cynical
about love, Lucas Grainger is her last choice for a husband—
even a husband of convenience. But desperate times call for
desperate measures: taking Lucas to bed and submitting to
his tender, hungry desires may be her only hope…
Lucas Grainger has sworn never to take a wife, but he’s not
about to let anyone else marry Rachel. He has his own
reasons for marrying the gentle, quick-witted widow,
reasons she need not know. But holding Rachel night after
night awakens deeper hungers than he has ever known, and a
calculated marriage soon yields to a blissful, blinding—and
dangerous—passion. For if Rachel knew who Lucas really was—
of the dark secrets that haunt him—she’d never choose him
as her protector…
Theirs is a union both erotic and enduring, and any man who
tries to part Lucas from the woman he loves will have the
devil to pay…
Diane I agree with your comments about the type of men in the old west that were hired to escort the freight and valuables. It funny to think about now if we need to place actors in these characters place I imagine John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, but have a hardtime putting Jimmy Stewart or Randolph Scott because they were softer spoken and gentler.
