How Miss West Was Won

How to outrun a madman intent on murder or worse? Go west!

New York Governess, Grace West, has been assured that finding a person in the vastness of the west should be the equivalent of searching for a needle in a haystack.

To protect a young lady in her care from a murderous villain, Grace assumes the identity of her wealthy charge—to lure the nasty piece of work away.

Unfortunately, she catches the eye of the charming, gorgeous, and slightly improper mayor of the small town she’s hiding in. And he is intent on hosting a gambling tournament that will attract maniacs from across the country! With so many strangers in town, how will she spot the villain hunting her?

Mayor Luke Carrington is intent on hosting a gambling tournament that will attract men from across the country and bring attention, and economic opportunity to their small town. And no one, certainly not Widow Braxton and her cronies, will put a stop to it.

When the new girl in town is used as a lure to distract him, he accepts the challenge. He does like to play games, and the fact that he’s forbidden to see her? It simply ensures he won’t stay away.

He likes to gamble. He likes to win. She doesn’t stand a chance.
