Growing up, Della channeled all her grief and rage into being a better gunslinger than The Kid. When she's arrested during an attempted train robbery, she almost abandons hope. To her surprise, she's recruited by a circuit judge at President Grover Cleveland's behest. She's tasked with infiltrating the U.S. Marshals and rooting out an agent turned trader. In exchange for her cooperation, Della is promised a full pardon and Pat Garrett's current location. Her pa's murder taught her two things: never trust anyone and family is the most precious commodity in the world. These two lessons clash when she meets the Shade Outlaw. She and the Shade soon learn they have a common goal and decide to team up. Soon, Della's torn between the irresistible outlaw and her quest for vengeance while the Shade is determined to make Della his, no matter what it takes. Excerpt Able to escape all manner of bindings since she was a little girl, Della smiled sweetly when the Sheriff walked in and paused to frown over the sight of iron cuffs and chains piled on the floor. She still sat in the chair, but reclined with feet propped on the bunk in her cell. She, however, missed the chance to revel in his shock because she was too busy glaring at the unconscious man dangling between the deputy and the Sheriff. In mere seconds she knew that she’d never laid eyes on a more perfect man. His thick black hair brushed his jacket collar, curling slightly at the ends. His strong-lined jaw held more than a day’s worth of whiskers telling her he’d been on the trail and had no time for a trim and shave. But in her opinion his overabundance of hair just made him more appealing. Most men just looked like a pissed off grizzly bear with that much hair on their head and face. He was dressed in head-to-toe black and the unbuttoned neckline of his shirt allowed a peek of finely tuned muscles with only a light dusting of ebony hair across his chest. His appearance reminded her of the rumors folks told about the Shade Outlaw. The tale of a rancher turned menacing outlaw after the death of his family. He’d sworn revenge on the ones responsible; the U.S. Marshals. He’d managed to kill over fifty Marshals before he disappeared. Word was that he covered himself in the devil’s black and his stare would burn a man’s soul with the fires of hell. If this man was indeed the infamous Shade, the whole town of Tucson would pay dearly once he woke. How they caught him nagged at her. He’d managed to take out so many Marshals without ever being seen. Why drop his guard now? “No ideas, Miss Bonney,” the Sheriff warned when he caught her studying the other prisoner. “He can’t help you any more than you can help him.” He spat on the floor between them and walked away with a chuckle.
