The Gunslinger by Lorraine Heath

The Gunslinger by Lorraine Heath

A hired gun falls for the one woman who's completely wrong for him in this Western romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lorraine Heath

Chance Wilder never wanted to be a hero. A road-weary gunslinger with a ruthless reputation, he focuses only on his next target--and his next payday. That is, until a young boy offers Chance everything he owns--a piece of string, a harmonica, and a bent penny--if he'll save his sister from a couple of thugs. Chance agrees, only to discover that the beautiful, fierce young woman in need of rescue is actually the very person he's been hunting: his next mark.

But after he saves her, Lillian Madison awakens in him long-buried dreams and possibilities. Facing the demons of his past, Chance is forced to question his next move. Dare he risk everything by following his heart . . . and trust that the road to redemption begins with Lillian?

Lorraine Heath's first narrative, which she wrote at the age of seven, was about a fisherman who fell in love with a mermaid. She's subsequently moved on to writing about sultry cowboys and dashing English lords--sometimes in the same novel, as a cunning twist. She is a master of her craft, according to Publishers Weekly. She is, and she has won the Rita Award, three RT Critics' Choice Awards, and the RT Career Achievement Award, in addition to being a New York Times and USA Today bestseller.
