MY PRECIOUS JEWEL
is now out!

Wyoming Territory, 1880
Though
poor and uneducated, Jewel Hastings never imagined she’d become a criminal – until
her twin brother Joey gets himself shot robbing a stage. Seeing no other
alternative, Jewel abducts a doctor to save his life. Despite her fear, the
uncooperative Wyoming weather, a cantankerous mule and a pair of broken
spectacles, she manages to pull off the kidnapping.
Being
manacled, blindfolded and dragged to an isolated homestead in the foothills of
the Laramie Mountains isn’t exactly the way Sheriff Kane McClure planned to
spend his evening, but he isn’t about to disappoint a couple of criminals who
went to this much trouble to get themselves caught. Though he isn’t sure how
he’s been mistaken for the town doctor, he’ll play the role for just long
enough to ensure both miscreants end up in jail where they belong. When he
discovers his captor is a young woman, he decides to employ a distraction as
old as time to trick her into lowering her guard… seduction.
Naive
to the games played between men and women, Jewel is no match for the handsome stranger’s
calculated charms. His scorching kisses and forbidden touch have her head
spinning and her britches damp. All too quickly, captive becomes captor and
Jewel finds herself in the Pike Springs jail, held as bait to catch her outlaw
brother.
Despite
being on opposite sides of the law, the attraction between them burns red-hot,
until it can no longer be denied, but can their desire overcome Kane’s
dedication to his duty and Jewel’s loyalty to her twin?
