Stardust and Whirlwinds — Pamela Litton

Trial by Fire

A land of broken dreams...In the dusty town of Santa Angela, the only law was the gun, and Amelia Cumming's no-good husband had died by it, leaving her with a debt-ridden mercantile business. Gunslinger Ross Tanner seemed anxious for her to leave, but she wasn't ready to give up just yet.

To Ross, Amelia appeared to be made of stronger stuff than her husband. Still, the frontier was no place for a lady, and she needed someone to protect her from the dangerous men and harsh land seemed to breed. Someone besides himself. Because as far as the widow Cummings was concerned, he was the most dangerous man of all.
