She swallowed the lump in her throat and stared into the blue of his eyes, hating the fact that being this close to him caused her heart to thump wildly in her chest. He was so warm, his hand on her back like a branding iron and the look in his eyes… She blinked and focused on anything but the need she saw in his eyes. But looking at his lips was a bigger mistake. She remembered the way they felt against her own. Remembered how he tasted, the velvety texture of his tongue sliding against her lips and she barely contained the urge to moan at the memory.
The Outlaw
by Lily Graison
Sarah Hartford always dreamed of a grand adventure. She just never expected to find it in the arms of an outlaw. When her father’s bank is robbed, Sarah doesn’t make the gunslingers’ escape easy. Putting her own safety behind those she hopes to protect backfires when she’s kidnapped by one of the escaping men. Now her only hope for survival lies with the same arrogant man who laughed at her while staring down the barrel of her gun.
Colton Avery spent months planning the perfect heist, every detail fine tuned and executed with precise timing. Nothing could go wrong. That is until he comes face to face with a determined woman holding a shotgun. She aimed at his head and never flinched when she took a shot at him. He wanted her the moment the smoke cleared and he saw her face.
Robbing the bank, and handing over the gang of notorious outlaws to US Marshals, would be routine and boring. Sarah Hartford made it anything but. Taming the woman who stole his heart the instant he saw her was a challenge he was more than willing to take on. All he has to do now is escape the gang of outlaws he just double-crossed, hideout from an Indian raiding party and elude the town marshal who just happens to be his little hellion’s new fiancé.
