Outlaw. Preacher. Night Hawk. He's had many names, but he can't escape the past. Since Ian Vance's beloved wife was murdered years ago, the hardened bounty hunter knows he'll never feel love or tenderness again, so he's made it his mission to ensure others get their justice. But when he's charged with delivering a sharp-eyed beauty to the law, Ian can't help but feel he may still have something left to lose. Orphaned at twelve, Maggie Freeman has always found her way out of trouble. But now there's a vigilante mob at her back who would like nothing more than to see her hang for a crime she didn't commit. Maggie may have to accept help for the first time in her life . . . even if it's from the one man standing between her and freedom. As the past closes in, the sassy prisoner and toughened lawman may just find a passion between them that could bring blinding happiness . . . if they'll let it.

0 0Let’s meet old west Samuel L Jackson. A one time outlaw turned bounty hunter called the Preacher because he recites Bible verses whilst catching criminals. He’s done with all that and now he’d like to go home to Wyoming and ranch. He’s biracial- Scottish mother/ Black father.
Our heroine is also biracial. Native mother / Black father. She was well educated by her father until her parents died when she was 14. She’s on her own, just trying to make her way in the world. Some entitled white bastard attempts to assault her and when she fights him off, he falls, hits his head on the corner of a counter and dies. Now she’s been arrested.
The story is fine. There are parts I really enjoyed but there was also A LOT of exposition about trains & dresses, & riding horses. This book took forever.
I know so many people love this author. This is my 3rd or 4th book of hers and I think she’s not for me.
