I'LL NEVER GO BACK!
"Never!" D. C. fashion reporter Lacey Smithsonian swears she'll never go back to Sagebrush, Colorado. That scruffy hard-luck Western boom town is where she earned her spurs as a cub reporter. But now three young women have been murdered, their bodies found barefoot and broken. And the accused is her old boyfriend, Sagebrush rancher Cole Tucker.
In her best (for courage) cowboy boots, Lacey heads way out West to help prove Tucker's innocence. And to resolve the last of her old feelings for this man she once loved--and left. Her plan doesn't sit well with her current beau, private eye Vic Donovan, who has his own history in Sagebrush. Vic races back there in pursuit of Lacey. Her editor and a nosy fellow reporter are chasing Lacey's story. Soon many more complications are hot on her trail. Like a murderer--and even her mother.
But Tucker kicks over all their plans when he abducts Lacey in a daring courthouse escape. On the run with her old flame, deep in the badlands of Western Colorado, fleeing in stolen Jeeps and on horseback, with Vic, the sheriff's posse, and a vicious killer in hot pursuit, Lacey's world turns upside down. Who can she trust? Tucker? or Vic? The law? Or her own conflicted feelings? Or nothing but her reporter's instinct for the truth?
