The Lawman's Deadly Bargain

Making a bargain with the wrong woman

might just cost him his life.

Getting involved in Sierra Covington's quest to find her brother's killer isn't something Beau Dawson should be interested in. How can the former police chief trust a woman with such nefarious family connections? Surely Sierra is setting up some kind of trap. Yet when someone attempts to kill them both, Beau realizes not even the mob boss's daughter is safe from her own kin. Taking on Sierra's case means it's them against the lawless. But leaving her to fend for herself...is simply impossible.
