On the run from her ex-lover…
Jilted by a no-show husband…
And now mistaken for a whore in the Diamond Back Saloon…
Abigail Thornton doesn’t think things can get any worse. That is, until a single slap to a man’s face starts a barroom brawl that lands her in the last place she expected to be.
Town Marshal Morgan Avery wants nothing more than to wash away the trail dust and sleep for a week, preferably with a soft, willing woman by his side. Instead, he gets Abigail Thornton—all one hundred pounds of her—thrust at him seconds before a fist connects with his face.
Breaking up the fight takes more effort than he wants to admit, and when the last man falls, he finds Abigail still standing and not looking the least bit contrite. Throwing her into the town jail for the night would salve his wounded pride, and then he would let her go. Or that was the plan. When morning comes, he finds himself oddly reluctant to do so. Miss Thornton is hiding something, and he aims to find out what, even if he has to bed her to do so. But will one night in her bed be enough?
