I was curious to read one of Nicole Jordan's western romances as her Historicals are top notch.

One of her novels had the dubious honor of being humorously spotlighted by Jay Leno on 'The Tonight Show.' On a more serious note, Nicole's romances regularly appear on numerous bestseller lists, including The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today, and have earned such honors as RITA finalist, RWA's Favorite Book of the Year, the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award for Historical Romance, and the Dorothy Parker Award of Excellence, presented by a group of over one hundred romance reviewers.

With over two-dozen historical romances to her credit and four million books in print, set in numerous eras and locales, Nicole now enjoys chronicling the sparks that fly when Regency lovers play the matrimonial mating game. She later earned a civil engineering degree from Georgia Tech and spent eight years as a manufacturing manager making disposable diapers and toilet tissue! Currently Nicole lives in the Rocky Mountains of Utah with her real-life hero (her husband) and beloved kids (her horses). In her former life, Nicole grew up as an Army brat, moving frequently and attending high school in Germany. New York Times bestselling author Nicole Jordan spins delightful tales that simmer with passion and sensuality. And the dangerous outlaw will not rest until he wins her trust and her heart- and makes her burn with love for him once more. Haunted by the cruel hurt of shattered dreams, Caitlin struggles desperately against Jake's fierce possessiveness and fiery touch. Now he's come home to clear his name and to reclaim the sensuous wildcat who's like a fever in his blood. Years of running from lies and the law have hardened Jake McCord and forced him to live by his gun. Then Caitlin's brother is killed by her beloved-and the beautiful hellion learns to hate the renegade she once burned for, body and soul.

Lovers in the midst of a lawless Colorado range war, Jake McCord and Caitlin Kingsly boldly forsake their feuding families for a blazing, forbidden passion. Forsaking their feuding families because of their love for one another, Colorado ranchers Jake McCord and Caitlin Kingsley are forced apart when her brother's murder makes Caitlin despise the man she had once loved.
