title: Taming Talia // Pleasuring the Pinkerton
author: Ryan, Marie-Nicole
description: She'll take her pleasure hot...until it burns its way to the cold truth.
  
  Over her not-so-dearly-departed husband's grave, newly widowed Natalia Montrose vows to shake off the memories of her abusive marriage by bedding the first suitable man she meets. Enter handsome, flirtatious Jared Fields, who offers to help her manage her assets.
  
  Natalia has no intention of giving up control of the ranch her father traded away--along with her hand--for gold. But she intends to enjoy this stranger's advances until all her desires are sated.
  
  Jared is a rarity among Pinkerton agents. Well educated, the disowned black sheep of a wealthy New York City family, he enjoys the freedom afforded by his various assignments. But discovering whether the fiery Widow Montrose had her husband killed is a challenge with an unexpected twist. All he can think about is what he'll do when he gets her in bed.
  
  Natalia and Jared circle each other warily, feeling the pull of sensual heat. But when the Blizzard of 1889 hits, the sexual sparks may not be enough to keep them warm...or alive.
  
  Warning: Contains a sex-starved widow and a saddled-hardened Pinkerton agent who set the sheets afire.
