Description

A gunslinger. A gambler. And the girl they stole.After the murder of her father, Cora runs away into the unforgiving Old West, determined to hunt down those responsible. But a suspicious small town in the Arizona Territory offers little mercy to a young woman alone.In a twist of fate, she’s rescued by Aiden and Cypress—two outlaws as enigmatic as they are deadly. Their bond forged by trust, loyalty, and temptation that simmers just beneath the surface. As they help Cora navigate the untamed world they call home, she soon finds they have far more to teach her than just simple survival.With trouble on their heels and her heart pulled in unexpected directions, Cora must choose between returning to the perceived safety of what she knows or finding an entirely new place in the dangerous life they already share.Adversity is a fast-paced, frontier romance where justice comes at a cost—and love doesn’t always come in pairs.
