Author of the Dakota Lawman series

When Lucy Moon learns of her mama's murder, she cuts short her honeymoon and returns to the Pistol Barrel of Oklahoma with her new husband in tow. It's a wild and raucous land full of the kind of gunfighters, backshooters, gamblers and pimps, anyone of whom could have shot Belle out of the saddle. Deter­mined to get revenge by whatever means necessary, Lucy never counted on being seduced by the mysterious half-breed Red Dog—who just might have been the assassin. But Lucy is determined to find out who the real killer of her mother is, even if blood needs to be spilled.
