A WOMAN OF DISHONOR. Desperate family circumstances had forced Mary AliceMacaffee into a life of crime ... running a dozen fancy scams clear acrossColorado -- and she wasn't about to let U.S. Marshal Hud Jackson get thebetter of her now! There was gold out there ... gold that was enroute fromCalifornia to the Confederate treasury. And as long as the handsome lawmanthought she knew how to find it, he'd worry less about putting her behindbars than keeping her on the trail beside him, cooling down the days withravishing kisses, steaming up the nights with white-hot caresses...A MAN OF DESIRE. The comely and curvaceous con artist had him between a rockand a hard place, and she knew it! Hud had ridden into dangerous Indianterritory to track down a thieving gang of outlaws and to retrieve the goldhis brother had died trying to find. It was just his luck that thisdeceiving desperado possessed the only map that would lead him to thetreasure -- and wasn't above using her seductive charms to distract him fromhis duty. But he didn't want to bring her in, not just yet ... not beforehe'd tasted her luscious lips, stroked her silken skin into quiveringsubmission and shared a rapturous loving more precious than Colorado Gold.
