A Rogue Gunslinger...

Who does that tall cowboy think he is?! If it weren't for some thieving rustlers, Eden would never have to deal with being bossed around by some rude gunslinger. But when she finds herself in Linc's lean, muscled arms and kissing his surprisingly sensual lips, she suddenly realizes she's in danger of more than losing her ranch: she's in danger of losing her heart!
