Arizona Sunset

In Arizona Territory, 1883, a woman's options were limited by her social status which Abigail Spenser resented. Despite her father's wishes, she planned to remain a spinster to avoid another man ruling her life-right up until she saw a way out. Was it safe? Who asks that question when an exciting option appears. Well maybe she should have.

Sam Ryker had grown up in a brothel at the back of a saloon. He was tough, a gunslinger, and if not legally an outlaw in Arizona Territory, bordering right on it by rustling cattle south of the border to sell to rich Arizona ranchers. He didn't see any chance for more than a quick death-right up until an option was presented to him. One he maybe should have denied but that wasn't his way.

So put these two combustible personalities together on Sam's ranch, with his gang, where life rode a precarious edge, and a marriage begun for all the wrong reasons couldn't possibly work-not when each sunset might be Sam's last. A logical woman wouldn't stay with such a man-would she?

Arizona Sunset is an adult, western romance about how sometimes we do find a new way-when we follow our heart.
