The Miss and the Maverick — DeLoras Scott

A tempestuous alliance.

Carrie O'Brian was not a thief.

After all, the wagonload of goods she taken from two-timing Steven Bishop had been bought with her money. Why then did the disreputable-looking Luke Savage have to be her only hope of reaching the Colorado gold fields and recouping her losses?

Something wasn't right. Carrie O'Brian didn't look like a thief. But Luke Savage didn't trust her any more than he trusted the man who had hired him to find her. Still, there was a passionate woman underneath Carrie's prickly exterior, and Luke's curiosity had gotten the better of him. Maybe he'd stick around long enough to find out just who was telling the truth.
