The hired gunslingers

Ever since Angelica's father died, Harlan Snyder had been angling to get his hands on her ranch, the Diamond R. And now, just when she had an important government contract to fulfill, she couldn't find a single cowhand to hire on all because of Snyder's threats. It was only a matter of time before she lost the ranch. That is, until the legendary gunfighter Kid Collins turned up on her doorstep, badly wounded. He was the one person who could help her beat Snyder at his own game if the price were not too high.

SHE HATED THE RUDE GUNSLINGER ALL DAY -- BUT WANTED HIM ALL NIGHT... DEFIANT SPITFIRE Rugged Linc Scott had hired on at Eden Campbell's ranch to protect it from cattle-rustling landgrabbers, but he soon realized that Eden Campbell herself was his biggest problem. The pretty little spitfire refused to let Linc guard her, arguing that she could take care of herself. To show her just how vulnerable she was, Linc wrestled Eden to the ground. But his plan backfired when their close encounter led to a heated kiss... and then to an even hotter embrace. Soon Eden was in more danger of losing her innocence than she was of losing her land... HIRED GUN Used to looking after herself, proud Eden Campbell didn't cotton much to the idea of having Linc Scott around all the time. If it weren't for those thieving rustlers the stubborn beauty would never have had to deal with being bossed around by a rude gunslinger. But when she found herself pinned to the ground beneath Linc's lean, muscled body and subject to the assault of his surprisingly sensual lips, she no longer minded his overbearing ways. She'd let him order her around all day, as long as he loved her all night...

But as 27 year old Leah gazed into his blazing blue eyes and found herself melting beneath his insistent caresses and shockingly sensual lips, she suddenly didn't mind if he stayed by her side--and in her arms forever... A COOL-HEADED GUNSLINGER To set his past to rights, 35 year old Calhoun Stevens realized he'd have to convince the headstrong Miss Harding he was an honest man. He resolved to save her land--and do his best to forget her tempting, shimmering fall of brown hair and flashing dark eyes. But once he drew the beautiful spitfire's slender body close and tasted her sweet, yielding kisses, Cal was claimed by a passion he was in no position to deny~Blazing Texas Nights
