Jess's Reckoning: (Book 3 Sweet Western Romance) The McIntyres

When justice and desire collide, someone will pay the ultimate price. Jess McIntyre lost everything to a band of outlaws who killed his parents in cold blood then vanished into the shadows of the wild Texas frontier. Now a lawman, he’s finally closing in on the men responsible. Justice is within reach, if he stays focused, invisible…And alone. Abigail Farnsworth has no intention of letting him face that darkness by himself. A determined newspaperwoman with a keen instinct for danger and a hunger for the truth, she senses a story behind Jess’s haunted eyes. One that could save her failing newspaper. She tracks him across Texas—and finds herself in the crosshairs of men who want her dead. Jess has no patience for a headstrong reporter—nor the distraction of a growing attraction he cannot afford. Still, Abigail refuses to turn back, especially after uncovering the pain that fuels his relentless pursuit and the reckoning that is long overdue. Trapped in a town run by outlaws, in a fight where survival is measured by so many heartbeats, they’re forced into an uneasy alliance. Adding to the danger is the surprising discovery of his missing little sister.
