Sexy lawmen and the women who tame them. (Sort of.) Follow the adventures of the Garrett family and their colorful friends as they tangle with lethal desperadoes, volitile secrets, shady pasts . . . and the complications of true love. Intrigue, high adventure, and sizzling romance abound in this fast-paced historical western trilogy.
LASSO THE MOON (Book One)
Motivated
by a childhood promise, Paris Garrett travels to the wilds of Arizona Territory
(1877) to seek fame as a stage actress. Never mind that she doesn’t possess a
lick of experience or that her true passion is songwriting. Before he died, her
papa encouraged her to reach for the stars. She promised to lasso the moon!
She’s already slipped free of her over-protective brothers. Nothing and no one,
especially some badge-wearing Romeo, is going to stand in her way.
Joshua Grant’s life went from diamonds to dirt in less time than a rattler strikes. His uncle bequeathed him an opera house he doesn’t want, forcing him to quit the law enforcement job he loved. The topper: In order to keep his sidewinder snake of a cousin from inheriting, Josh has to honor his uncle’s will and marry within two weeks. Life can’t get much worse, and then he falls for an eccentric, spitfire songwriter with a mysterious past and a passel of troublesome admirers. Marrying Paris is about as smart as kissing a coyote, but that’s exactly what Josh intends to do--whether she likes it or not. Together they could realize their dreams. That’s if they don't drive each other crazy first!

FALL OF ROME
(Book Three)
Famous for
bending the law to get his man, former Wells Fargo detective Rome Garrett signs
on with the Peacemaker Alliance, a covert government agency intent on taming
the west. His first assignment, bringing down cold-blooded killer Bulls-eye
Brady, will help return his tarnished career to glory. Even better, when he
learns he must team up with the only woman who ever broke his heart, Rome
considers it a bonus. He vows to show his old flame how it feels to love and
lose, vanquishing the hellcat from his dreams once and for all.
Retired cardsharp, Kat Simmons, has been in hiding from Bulls-eye Brady for six years. Now she’s being asked to risk her obscurity and join a whirlwind poker tournament to bait Brady into reclaiming the woman who "got away." Trapping Brady, a man she fears, means teaming up with Rome Garrett, the only man she ever loved. She should feel safer having the Peacemaker with her, but the passion that reignites between them is frightening and past betrayals difficult to forget, especially when a secret is revealed that could doom any chance at love.
