Cheyenne Moon

Disguised as a man, Kat Diamond flees from her step father's murderous goons with a fortune in heirloom jewels. With fate on her side, her path crosses Judd Lassiter's -- a notorious bounty hunter she desperately wants to hire. When Kat offers him a portion of her inheritance if he'll get her safely to Santa Fe, she doesn't count on a deal that's fraught with danger at every turn -- and has her gladly surrendering her heart...

Known as Panther, Judd Lassiter is as fearless and untamed as his namesake, a half-breed more at home stalking his quarry in the wild than confined in civilization. Kat Diamond's exquisite beauty is enough to tempt any man -- even a loner like himself. But with the law on her trail, a murder charge against her, and a bounty on her head, he suspects she's guilty of double dealing...until their trek though the wilderness puts his trust to the test, turning their bargain into a passionate bond -- and a fight for a love more precious than gold.
