But he soon discovers it's more than just the law back in New Mexico Territory that wants her.
Vickie England just wants to start her life over, without all the mistakes that brought her to this place. But she wasn't expecting that a detour would bring her to the man she's always dreamed of.
When an outlaw on the run sees the money in her bag, he rounds up a gang to try to take that cash.
It's a Wild West love story, but you'd better grab your shooting iron and a box of catridges because outlaws and bounty hunters aren't the romantic sorts.
Another fast paced story. This author has a wonderful way of wrapping dialogue within action within setting. In the midst of action he manages to describe the look, the sounds, the smells, the very feel of a place and then adds the dialogue that moves with the action. I gave this four stars only because, near the end, he strains credulity with the action (nobody responds to gunfire? The Law doesn’t immediately respond to people running in the street? The ex-army guy is so dull-witted and slow that he can’t figure some different options?) Humm. But all in all this is a fun read.
Vicki is fleeing New Mexico with $20,000. Her husband was murdered and there is a warrant out her her arrest, even though she is innocent and the money is hers. Headed east on a train, she ends up across the aisle from a man who turns out to be a bounty hunter. He is on the trail of a desperado, but sees, she has a lot of money on her. Vicki alludes him and makes it to Junction City Kansas, where she meets the Wells Fargo clerk and they have a mutual attraction. You just know that the bounty hunter and his prey make their way to Junction City, eventually.
Great plot and fast moving story. Rob Peecher always crafts a compelling story with realistic characters. The setting of this small town is perfect for the unwinding of this exciting drama.
This author always gives you a good storyline! I was a little surprised at the ending as I was hoping for a little more about what they ended up doing.
