Tucson Moon — Rain Trueax

Priscilla Wesley has all a young woman could want, as she seeks answers to life from mysticism. She's made a few mistakes along that line, never forgiving herself for using a wishing well and ending up with the untrustworthy Martin Matthews on her doorstep. Magic can run amok. She has decided to remain a spinster-- especially since the only man who really attracts her wears a gun.

Marshal Cord O'Brian, in keeping the law in a still lawless time, faces many problems. One  is staying away from the lovely Miss Wesley. She's bad news for a man like him. Cord has never trusted the outlaw, Sam Ryker, who Priscilla's friend Abbeymarried (ran off with).  There might be a reason for that, a reason neither man wants to accept. When Cole's nine-year old daughter arrives in Tucson, his greatest problems are about to begin.

This second book in the Arizona historical romance series is about love, family relationships, friendship, the desert, and Arizona Territory in 1886-87 (with main characters carrying over from 'Arizona Sunset').  There is some spice, strong language, and violence as part of the story. Consequences, unfortunate timing, andfinding your own path lead to both joys and miseries-- all to be found under the 'Tucson Moon.'
