Book One
Welcome to Book One of my Lincoln War Brides Series set in Lincoln, New Mexico in 1877 during one of the most turbulent times in the American West, where Billy the Kid earned his fame.
Rosalie Winters will never marry, will never fall in love. Love destroys all, leaving nothing but ashes in its wake. In a desperate bid to escape an arranged marriage, she ventures alone to Lincoln, New Mexico to carve her own path.
But Rosalie gets more than she bargains for when she steps foot onto one of the most dangerous streets in America, stumbling into the middle of a dispute between bitter business rivals. In Lincoln, there's only one way to resolve a conflict - with a bullet.
Shaw McPherson is a gunman for hire. Abandoned by his mother, orphaned by his father, the last thing he needs in his life is a bossy know-it-all woman from the East.
When Shaw and Rosalie's lives collide, their passion can only be ended in a hail of gunfire. Between the bullets and the blood, can a woman who has sworn off love learn to trust her heart?
