Nate: A Sexy Western Historical Romance

Book excerpt: A sexy western historical romance by New York Times bestselling author Lori Handeland. If you liked the Magnificent Seven, you'll love the Rock Creek Six! Six elite Confederate soldiers band together after the War Between the States, hiring out their guns to protect lawless towns. Violence is all they know, until they make their way to Rock Creek, Texas. Nate Lang is a preacher turned gunfighter. Not one of the men who rides at his side knows what turned Nate from God to the gun and then the bottle. None of them ask. They all have their secrets, and Nate deserves his. Jo Clancy, daughter of the disgraced Rock Creek reverend, has loved Nate from the moment she met him. When others give up, Jo is always there, determined to show him that life is worth living and love is worth anything. When Nate doesn't return from a job in Mexico, Jo fears the worst and travels there alone to find him. Upon their return to Rock Creek, circumstances lead to a marriage of convenience. Together they minister to the people of the town. Is a new life enough to draw Nate away from his darkness? Will he ever see the light? Fans of Cynthia Roberts, Isabel Keats and Kirsty McCafrey will love this gritty, steamy, emotional tale of the Old West.
