Gunsmoke and Silk

She was raised to be looked at. He was paid to look away. Vivienne LaRoux has known exactly what men want since she was twelve. She just never expected Marshal Roman Dace — twenty-six years her senior, with a reputation for violence and a face like a closed door — to want anything but to be rid of her. He pulls her out of the fire in Abilene and dumps her on a goat farm with fifty dollars and a warning. She follows him anyway. She buys her own shop, forges her own paperwork, and burns through every wall he builds. But Roman's past is riding in with a private army, and the only currency Vivienne has left is the thing the brothel taught her and the thing the marshal never wanted to teach her. Some debts get paid in blood. Some get paid in a courthouse in Santa Fe. *A dark, age-gap western romance for readers who like their heroes ruined and their heroines ungovernable.*
