A passion neither of them wanted…and neither
can deny.
Anna Locke
was once young, naïve and infatuated with the handsome Jude Sinclair. Until the
charismatic “gentleman” showed his true colors by abandoning her on their
wedding day.
In the
years since, she has transformed herself into a confident, successful woman,
independent of her errant husband’s aristocratic family in every way but name.
When Jude unexpectedly returns demanding a divorce, she quashes the butterflies
he still elicits, and resolves to show him she won’t be so easily cast aside.
Jude has
come home to assume the responsibilities left to him upon his father’s death,
and to finally end the marriage into which he was tricked. To his surprise,
Anna is no longer an awkward, skinny girl with a furtive gaze. She has become a
lush, enigmatic vixen with dark eyes that shield secrets she seems determined
to keep.
In their
intimate war of wills, the heat of bold desire flares into passion—and casts
light on a shared past tangled in lies and blackmail. But until Jude can win
her trust and learn the truth, there will be no destroying the obstacles that
loom darkly between them…and the love that should have been theirs.
Product Warnings
This
title contains a shockingly revealing sapphire gown, highly improper behavior
at a masquerade, a tangled web of deception, and perhaps most scandalous of
all, a fiery passion that flares to life between a husband and wife who have
been estranged since their wedding day.

Historical Romance Western and Frontier
Enemies to Lovers Romance
A Time of Change
In the fall of 1888, the tiny hamlet of Ridgeway is gearing up for elections on the local and national level. On the national stage, Grover Cleveland is campaigning for re-election against Benjamin Harrison; locally, two men are vying for the mayor's seat being vacated by the retiring Bernard Ridgeway.
A Woman Ahead of Her Time
Saloon owner Angel May Lane is an unconventional woman in every sense of the word. When she's not tending the bar at the Crazy Eights Saloon, she's caring for her elderly aunt, or out with her friends agitating for women's suffrage. Her activities make her a thorn in the side of some folks, but she's determined to see the day when women and men have equal rights- even if it's only in her own small town. Arrested by the town's deputy sheriff, she finds herself both outraged and intrigued by the man who's taken her into custody.
A Man Anchored in Tradition
Deputy Gregory Simmons isn't interested in politics. His main concern is keeping the peace, and that's become an even more complex job since sheriff Noah Rogers announced his candidacy for mayor. Angel May and her cohorts are causing a ruckus, so he hauls her in. She turns out to be the most enchanting prisoner he's ever had, and before he can stop himself, he's falling for her. She's as troublesome a woman as they come, but he can't deny the way she makes him feel.
Love Among the Chaos
The issues of race and women's rights are dividing the town, pitting husbands against wives and neighbor against neighbor. In the midst of it all, Angel and Gregory must decide if their budding love is worth opening their hearts and changing their minds, in a way they never imagined before.
