Violet, A Contrary Woman

Violet Ramsey is a different kind of woman for the 1890s. Not only does she own a business in a silver mining town called Calico, a place dominated and run by men, but she actively supports the temperance and suffragette movements, encouraging the local women to become involved. She has fought hard for her independence and she is not about to give it up, especially to a man.

The first time Tucker Barnes met Violet, she stood up to the most important men in town, and won. Since those same men were hell bent on hanging him, he was mighty grateful. The second time he met her was in a town where he was sent to investigate and solve a string of murders.

The beautiful, all-grown-up Violet is different from any other woman he has ever run across. She intrigues and distracts him and gives him hell just for the fun of it. He walks around with an itchy palm, keen to set her straight. He wants her, and she wants to sleep with him – but refuses to let it be known that she is his woman. She is as contrary as ever, but he knows what she needs.
A murderer is running loose in Calico. Tucker has to find him before he claims another victim, because he believes Violet is next.
