Don’t miss this chilling and romantic collection of short stories set during Hallowtide in the Old West, featuring three bounty hunters and the women destined to love them. In Arizona Territory, Hannah Dobbin seeks vengeance against a sorcerer who murdered her father. Bounty hunter Jack Boggs, known as The Crow, is on the trail of a Mexican bandito, but as Hallowtide approaches, dark magic looms larger than either expects. Callum Boggs, also called The Crow, arrives in Silverton on a cold October day, hunting an outlaw. Skilled in dream scouting, he believes he has pinpointed the criminal's location to the haunted Silas Ravine. Jennie Livingstone, worried about her father's safety, must rely on this newcomer when local men refuse to help. Together, they venture into the mountains, where the mines are filled with spirits, and their survival depends on navigating between the living and the dead. Meanwhile, Kester “Kit” Boggs, another bounty hunter known as The Crow, pursues a demon that preys on children. Eliza McCulloch is determined to reclaim her family’s spellbook, which is tied to the same man Kit is tracking. As they uncover secrets that threaten their lives, they must confront their growing desire for each other. These stories were previously published separately.

But, then, Kate was always trouble—and now she’s brought it to his doorstep, with tales of a pregnant fiancée and his brother Ethan, who he hasn’t seen in five years. Can Ethan and Kate ever find their own love and happiness with one another through the dark deception and hurt? Or will they both return INTO THE LAND OF SHADOWS…

Skye Mallory has always aspired to leave her family's ranch, and she takes pride in having achieved her dream of becoming a lawyer. But when an unexpected inheritance draws her home for the Christmas holidays, she's surprised by a longing to set down roots in the wide-open meadows and woodlands of southwestern Colorado. Only one thing stands in her way-a cowboy who broke her heart nine years ago. In high school, Joe Carrigan admired Skye for her spirit and intellect, but he knew she was destined for a life beyond ranching. Turning down her romantic overture was the best course of action for them both. But now, he's returned to their hometown, and it's inevitable he'll come face-to-face with his one regret in life-Skye Mallory. This time, however, he won't be so chivalrous. This novella was previously published in the anthology A CHRISTMAS COWBOY TO KEEP. Heat Level: Steamy

New-Mexico-Territorium, 1877: Ex-Deputy Logan Ryan trifft überraschend auf Claire Waters am Santa Fe Trail. Die Frau, an die er sich erinnert, ist verschwunden, und an ihrer Stelle steht eine verführerische Bardame, die ihn in Schwierigkeiten bringen kann. Als Claire in ein gefährliches Netz aus Intrigen gerät, versucht Logan, sie zu beschützen, ohne zu erkennen, dass seine Vergangenheit die größte Bedrohung für sie darstellt. Claire ist beschämt, Logan zu begegnen, und lässt ihn glauben, das Schlimmste über sie zu denken. Sie arbeitet nur als Bardame, weil ihre Mutter, die Saloonbesitzerin, verschwunden ist. Daher kann sie sich sein Hilfsangebot nicht leisten. Verzweifelt bemüht, ihr Leben in Ordnung zu bringen, begibt sie sich mit Logan auf die Reise und erkennt, dass die Versuchung, ihm ihr Herz zu öffnen, sie in große Gefahr bringt.

Die Autorin schreibt aus dem Herzen und wird von Liebhabern des Wilden Westens empfohlen.
