Wild winds Book

In an age when the only law on the untamed frontier comes from the barrel of a gun, Maggie Malone is determined to earn her livelihood as a private detective. It is a daunting profession during any era, but unheard of for a woman on her own in the wild and woolly West. Maggie intends to use that to her advantage as she undertakes an assignment that will test her courage...and challenge the deepest yearnings of her heart. Maggie's stepfather has asked her to do the impossible: help his son escape the hangman's noose. The boy was convicted for a bank robbery he insists a pair of notorious bandits committed. But the Yuma Prison break will place Maggie's own life in jeopardy - and leave her with grave doubts about whether she's done right...or terribly wrong. Sworn to help clear the family name by tracking down the real culprits, Maggie meets Hawk Reynolds. An ex-Texas Ranger and half-blood Cheyenne, Hawk is on a vengeance quest to find his parents' killers. He believes Maggie can lead him to his quarry - the same desperadoes she herself seeks. Destiny draws them to each other...and to the stirring of an unbidden, uneasy desire.
