And look for Cas and Zane’s stories, coming soon!
The Wild West is one of my most favourite periods in history. It’s an era that was only a little more than a lifetime ago, but was such a time of change and lawlessness that it spawned legends we still know today. I am so happy and excited to revisit that time for this new Outlaws of the Wild West series, and to share with you my first full-length Western romance.
When choosing a setting for my first Western series I immediately thought of the Montana Territory. Aside from its majestic natural beauty, it’s a place as tempestuous as any you’d find in the Old West. Home to mining barons, brothel madams, outlaws and average people just trying to get by, it really is the perfect setting for adventure and romance. I chose Helena specifically because at one time it was home to more millionaires per capita than any other city in the world. It epitomised opulence set against a rough backdrop, which is what first intrigued me with this story. I loved the idea of Hunter the rough outlaw juxtaposed with Hunter the wealthy gentleman.
I hope you enjoy getting to know Hunter and Emmy as much as I did. And I hope you’ll join me later as I delve into the lives of his brothers. Thank you so much for reading.

Epilogue
Emmaline Drake knew trouble when it walked through the door. Five years of serving drinks had taught her that only three kinds of strangers ever entered Jake’s Saloon in the tiny backwater town of Whiskey Hollow. The first two were drifters and loners who sought the saloon as a refuge from a world that didn’t accept them. They kept to themselves and rarely caused trouble. A drink, a meal and conversation with a pretty girl were enough to send them on their way. But then there were men like the three who stood just inside the saloon’s swinging, slatted doors. These men were the third type and just looking at them caused a knot of dread to churn tight in her stomach.
These men were outlaws.
If there was anything Emmaline knew, it was how to spot an outlaw. Thanks to her stepfather’s profession,
