Montana Showdown — Jake Logan

LILA BELONGED TO SOMEONE ELSE, but her invitation to spend the night was just what Slocum needed. Their lovemaking was everything he had anticipated and more. Then it happened: the knock at the door; Slocum hiding in the closet, overhearing the threats; the pretty little brunette being beaten; Slocum bursting from the closet to confront the son of the town's wealthy owner. Within seconds they were circling each other, a knife flashing at Slocum's belly. He knew now there was no talking his way out of this one. It was a fight to the end.
