The Hell's Eight is the only family he's ever needed...until he meets the only woman he's ever wanted.

Caine Allen is a hardened Texas Ranger – definitely not the marrying kind. But when he rescues a kidnapped woman and returns her to town, the preacher calls in a favour...one Caine's honour won't let him refuse.

From the moment he beds Desi, Caine knows turmoil will follow. Desi might have the face of a temptress, but she also has a will of iron and while she needs his protection, she's determined that no man will control her again. They establish an uneasy bond, but it isn't enough for Caine. He wants all Desi has to offer. He wants her body, her demands...everything. Yet there's still a bounty on Desi's head, and keeping her satisfied is proving easier than keeping her alive.
