A bounty hunter facing his past
Gade Ryder returns to Eden, Texas, after twelve years to investigate a gang of rustlers on the family ranch. Had he accepted the job out of misplaced family loyalty or was it the compelling mystery of the devil's daughter keeping him in the one place he didn't want to be? Confronted by the memory of his mother's suicide and the father he blames for her death, Gade finds himself seeking comfort from the one woman he couldn't trust.
A criminal on the run
Blaze Marie Austin, once a little girl forced to be an outlaw, finds a chance at redemption by repaying the man who'd saved her life. Only her savior's estranged son accuses her of betrayal and ignites a passion she can't deny.
When the little criminal is accused of murder, Gade's growing attraction for her could not only cost him his freedom, it may well cost him his life.

My life has been one big adventure. My childhood was full of reading the classics like Treasure Isle, Robinson Crusoe, and The Swiss Family Robinson tales. In fact my mother has another word for my "stories" but to this day, I continue to dream up adventures of my own. As a pregnant teen my adventure became a life-defining moment as I struggled to survive and raise a child. During those rocky years writing became an emotional outlet. After a very long divorce I again found myself climbing that rocky path of life and have learned to live by a single quote: "Obstacles are placed in our path to determine whether we really wanted something, or just thought we did." By Dr. Harold Smith. Taking life by the proverbial horns, I now live happily ever after with my new beau, and three boys in NC. One day I plan to retire and sail along the east coast, an adventurer to the end.
