Her Bodyguard

Dear Friends,

I thought it was nonsense when the palm reader told me and my sisters that we'd been born with a bad luck love line. I paid no mind to her claim that only the truest love could overcome the family curse. After all, I was a reformed McBride Menace -- it wouldn't do for me to believe in such foolishness!

Better I had listened.

Now our family faces its biggest crisis ever, and I've had to turn for help to the most notorious man in town. Luke Garrett was born to be a hero -- it's such a puzzle that he ended up an outlaw. Maybe I'm foolish to trust a mysterious, alluring gunslinger to protect me as I pursue this vital quest. I don't care that Luke has secrets -- I'm willing to take the risk. As I travel the badlands of Texas, I'll trust him to guard my person. It's up to me to protect my heart. If only Luke didn't appeal to the Menace in me....

Wish me good luck...I think I'll need it!
