    About this ebook


    WAY OUT WEST

    THE HELL–RAISER AND THE PREACHER'S DAUGHTER

    Ross Dalton had always been trouble the kind a "good girl" like Maggie Bristol should stay away from. But she'd never been able to get that across to her heart. And it seemed as if nothing had changed, even though she was the law in the part of Montana now, and he was a suspected thief. Ross had become a sinfully seductive man and Maggie still ached for him.

    Now she longed to prove to this town and to him that Ross Dalton was a better man than anyone knew .

    Because there's nothing like a cowboy.

    Lauren Nichols

    Once upon a time, Lauren Nichols wanted to to illustrate children's books. But when one publisher finally gave her a chance to submit her sketches--if she wrote an accompanying story--Lauren fell in love with fiction writing. She now writes mystery, romance and science fiction short stories for national magazines, and romantic suspense novels for Harlequin. Lauren loves creating emotional romances with mystery and suspense elements that keep readers guessing until the very end.
