Loving Lucas (The Ladies of Cascade Creek #1)   by AnnMarie Oakes

 

The Colorado Territory of the 1870s is a hard place for women by herself. Audra Canton's and her sister are on their own after their father died.  The suitors in the area have an odd way of making a case: they keep shooting at them. Audra needs help learning to protect herself and her sister.

Lucas Blake comes into the picture when she scares off a couple of suitors.  Audra takes him on as a hired hand. He has a secret; he’s a lawman hot on the trail of a hardened criminal.  Working the homestead is the perfect cover.

Lucas has accidentally put Audra straight into the sights of a new, more deadly gun.  Now Lucas and Audra must fight for their lives—and each other.

 

I enjoyed this book about early Colorado.  The lawman’s chase and what he thinks is most important leads him one way.  That is until Audra is pulled into the middle of his hunt.  She is taken and Lucas tracks where they took her.  He hopes he gets to her in time.  This is when what is important to him changes.
