First in a vibrant, sensual historical Western romance series full of love and lust about runaway brides who find freedom in the untamed West. Gunslinger Malcolm Kincaid has no desire to escort a pampered Eastern lady to Montana, but the longer he and Alexandra Brighton travel together, the harder he's falling... Alexandra Brighton spent the last five years in Boston, erasing all evidence of the wild frontier girl she used to be. Before she settles into some stuffy marriage, she's determined to flee West and visit her childhood home one final time. But when she finds herself stranded far from civilization, she has no choice but to trust her safety to the tall, dark, and decidedly dangerous bounty hunter, Malcolm Kincaid. Now that Malcolm finally has the location of his brother's killer, he has no intention of wasting time protecting some baffling runaway miss. But something about Alexandra speaks to the heart he long thought frozen—and her slow transformation from proper lady to wild-eyed beauty leaves him shaken. By the time they reach Montana, Malcolm must decide if seeking justice for past wrongs is worth losing a future with the woman he never expected to need...

Billy the Kid, Wild Bill Hickok, Belle Starr, Wyatt Earp, the Younger Gang, the Dalton-Doolin Gang and Bat Masterson--these real-life lawmen and lawbreakers have been the basis of so many Hollywood Westerns that it has become difficult to discover where the truth ends and the legend begins. All actually became larger-than-life characters during their lifetimes, as contemporary newspapers and books embellished their deeds for their own purposes. But it was in Hollywood that the line between reality and myth was completely blurred. Each chapter-length entry here first focuses on the known facts of the people's lives and how each became truly legendary during their lifetimes. The reality is then compared to how they have been portrayed in the movies.
