Unlike the rest of the Hell's Eight brotherhood, Ace Parker's home isn't on the
range. This restless cowboy craves the hustle of Simple, Texas, a lawless town
where he can sate his darker appetites without guilt. At least he could, until
Petunia Wayfield arrived. The prickly new teacher is insisting that Ace help her
rid the town of drunkenness and card playing. For that kind of miracle, Ace
demands a reward the spinster schoolmarm will surely never give.
But Petunia isn't backing down. Not when the intense passion Ace offers shatters
her to the core. As soon as she can afford a ticket to California, she'll leave
Simple behind for good. Until then, she'll match his sensual challenge with her
own, daring him to give up his fiercely guarded self-control. And then real
danger claims Petunia, forcing Ace to reveal the man he really is—even if it
drives her away forever….
REVIEWS
"McCarty is a sparse,
minimalistic writer, with a
great ear for dialogue. She's a
passionate observer of history,
and manages to deftly and
accurately weave her spicy
stories through with important
facts and issues of the epoch
she invokes. She's also good at
capturing that intangible
magnetism surrounding dangerous,
rugged men...I'm hooked."

"What really sets
McCarty's stories apart from
simple erotica is the complexity
of her characters and
conflicts....definitely spicy,
but a great love story, too."

historicals packed with emotion,
excitement and heat, you can
never go wrong with a book by
Sarah McCarty." -Romance Junkies
"It's so great to see
that Ms. McCarty is able to
truly take these eight men and
give them such vastly different
stories and vastly different
heroines, all of whom allow us
to see different aspects of what
life was really like for Western
Frontier women be it good,
horrific, or simply
unfortunate." -Romance Books
Forum
"Sarah McCarty's series
is an exciting blend of raw
masculinity, spunky, feisty
heroines and the wild living in
the Old West...with spicy, hot
love scenes. Ms. McCarty gave us
small peeks into each member of
the Hell's Eight and I'm looking
forward to reading the other
men's stories." -Erotica Romance
