Deadly Ambush — J.R. Roberts

Clint Adams and Kate Avery hit it off from the start. She was all woman, with a particularly lusty appetite for The Gunsmith.
Then Kate was shot dead right before Clint's eyes, and he vowed to scour the town of Hancock, Arizona, until he found her killer and discovered why someone, somewhere, wanted her dead.
On the surface, Kate had appeared been a simple businesswoman who ran a hat shop. But as Clint dug deeper he found that a far dirtier business -- and even dirtier sex -- might be at the bottom of the murder. With the aid of a beautiful saloon owner and a dedicated lawman, Clint set out to nail the killer before he could strike again.
