A WOMAN OF DISHONOR. Desperate family circumstances had forced Mary Alice Macaffee into a life of crime ... running a dozen fancy scams clear across Colorado -- and she wasn't about to let U.S. Marshal Hud Jackson get the better of her now! There was gold out there ... gold that was enroute from California to the Confederate treasury. And as long as the handsome lawman thought she knew how to find it, he'd worry less about putting her behind bars than keeping her on the trail beside him, cooling down the days with ravishing kisses, steaming up the nights with white-hot caresses... A MAN OF DESIRE. The comely and curvaceous con artist had him between a rock and a hard place, and she knew it! Hud had ridden into dangerous Indian territory to track down a thieving gang of outlaws and to retrieve the gold his brother had died trying to find. It was just his luck that this deceiving desperado possessed the only map that would lead him to the treasure -- and wasn't above using her seductive charms to distract him from his duty. But he didn't want to bring her in, not just yet ... not before he'd tasted her luscious lips, stroked her silken skin into quivering submission and shared a rapturous loving more precious than Colorado Gold.
