"Safe," he breathed, every long-thrust promise branding her deeper than any bullet scar. "My girl-my stubborn, brave, beautiful girl-forever my girl." Eva Fairchild was born to silk parasols and blood-soaked cotton. When she helps enslaved friends escape her father's Mississippi plantation, she brands herself a traitor-and a price is set on her head. Captured by drifters and nearly sold to a brothel, she's ransomed by an exhausted gunslick with thunder in his eyes: William H. Bonney, the outlaw history will call Billy the Kid. Billy only means to put the skittish stranger somewhere "proper" before the law or his enemies catch his scent again. But six months of dust roads, bounty hunters, bad whiskey, and one too many nights sharing a torn canvas tent will turn good sense to smoke. He is too rough for her softness, she is too soft for his roughness-yet her quiet courage keeps saving his hide. They learn to trust each other's bodies long before they dare trust each other's hearts. But secrets drag behind them like tin cans on wedding ribbon. And when Eva discovers Billy's plan to leave her, thunder finally strikes. 🌹 This fic is Explicit / 18+ only. Minors, please step off the porch. Ride at your own risk-the trail gets dusty, the thunder gets loud, and the smut gets downright electric.
