Gunslingers & Garters: Gunslingers & Garters

By Philippa Ann Holt

1887: From Russia to the Wild West to England, six secret agents indulge in competition, pleasure, and passion in three different tales of bad boys and headstrong ladies.

Flirting with Vengeance

Melissande Lenox is a lady and secret agent who doesn’t take “no” for an answer. So when her rival and former lover, bad boy bounty hunter Rory, manages to snipe her latest target out from under her, Melissande decides to get even. Soon, the daring mercenary is at her feet, doing exactly what she wants and begging for more. But when Melissande leaves him in an unexpectedly vulnerable situation, Rory decides it’s time to turn the tables. She leads him on a merry chase, but it won’t be long before the rogue puts her in her place…

Taming the Angel

Angelique “Angel of Death” LaCroix is one of the most cold-blooded bounty hunters in the west. It’s her sidekick, Jasper, who wants to know if she’s heartless as well. Jasper has remained a loyal shadow ever since the hitwoman rescued him from a whipping. The duo has cut a dangerous swath from one coast to the other, and back again. Now the handsome stray wants to show his appreciation to his merciless protector. He wants to do more than have Angel’s back. He wants to have all of her.

Claiming Her Heart

Lisalle Collins never expected the death of her husband to mean she would spend the rest of her life hunted by ruthless mercenaries trying to obtain information… from the tattoo that covers her entire back. The Administrator has lost both his best operative and closest friend. Now he will stop at nothing to protect the widow from those who want to use her for their own gains, but his money and influence may not be enough. And then there’s the fact that it’s not long before his reasons for seeing what’s under Lisalle’s corset go beyond his duty to Queen and country…

These sensual vignettes contain scenes of domination and one includes bondage. Each of these three short stories has an HEA.
