After the ashes

the long version

Desert wildfire It started with a stagecoach robbery. That was the spark that set fire to Lorelei Sullivan's plan for the future. She and her brother had moved to the New Mexico Territory to escape the past, to ranch, but Corey had destroyed all hope of that. Lawmen now wanted him--and Lorelei wouldn't see the boy hang. Yet defying the law placed her between two men she couldn't trust: the sibling whom she'd thought she knew; and Christopher Braddock, the bounty hunter who was her brother's one shot at redemption--a hard, silent man who lit an unquenchable fire inside her. And as his kiss fanned the flames of circumstance and desire, Lorelei wondered whether she would be consumed by this inferno or rise reborn from its ashes.
