author: Devlin, Linda
description: Their friendship forged during the bloody battles of the War Between the States, they are men with nothing left but their honor. When one calls, the others answer--and this time they will gather in the tiny town of Rock Creek, Texas, where their brand of justice is the only possible salvation...and where each man will find a woman determined to open his heart to love.
  
  An Unlikely Team...Or A Couple At Heart?
  
  Jed Rourke has been everything from a soldier to a miner, a cowhand and a gambler--and most recently a Pinkerton detective. Stopping in Rock Creek every now and again to see his sister, Jed finds a compelling reason to stay this time--prim and sensible Hannah Winters, who has arrived in town at her distraught sister's request. Hannah's brother-in-law has been charged with murder. While Jed believes any man is capable of violence, Hannah won't hear of it--and insists on helping him solve the crime. Working with a woman is the last thing Jed planned on, but with Hannah, teamwork soon takes on a whole new meaning...and may just lead to a walk down the aisle.
