Romance Historical
Just one touch is all it takes. . . Betrayed and abandoned by her adulterous husband, actress Jess Sullivan has but one goal: to return home to the happy, comfortable βgood girlβ life she foolishly forfeited in the name of love. Before she can do that sheβs determined to save enough money to pay back what her husband stole from her brother. Riddled with guilt, Jess has no use for men or romance, especially one like Leland Montgomery, an ultra-charming aristocrat turned playboy gambler. Lee however, is enchanted by Jessβs beauty, and quick, sharp wit. Assuming she follows the casual immorality of her profession, he pursues a brief, torrid affair. Jess though, is hardly the shallow, loose woman he expects. As his feelings for her deepen, it becomes apparent that any relationship with her must be respectable. But men of his background do not marry actresses. Then Jessβs stage manager is murdered, and she and Lee are blamed for the crime. After narrowly escaping the clutches of corrupt lawmen, they set out across the Colorado prairie, one step ahead of a posse and shadowed by a passion that will no longer be denied. . . .
