**From New York Times Bestselling Author Jill Gregory**
An original novella first published in the anthology Masters of Seduction.
Beautiful Georgianna Daughtry returns to Lost Gulch, Wyoming to attend a retirement banquet in honor of her old friend Judge Morgan -- only to find that her childhood friend, the Judge's estranged son, Gabe, is back in Lost Gulch as well. Now a gunfighter, Gabe believes his father's old enemy might show up at the celebration to cause trouble, and he is determined to protect the Judge -- and Georgianna. What he doesn't expect to find is that the wild, scrappy tomboy he'd befriended -- and kissed -- years ago is now a stunning redheaded beauty who might make him rethink his gunfighting ways and draw him back to the roots of the small town and family he thought he'd left behind for good.
