TURNCOAT'S REWARD

Headstrong Gabrielle St. Claire knew nothing of politics--until secret documents found in her possession falsely branded her a traitor to the Confederacy. Exiled from her New Orleans home, the pampered belle was furious to discover her safety, had been entrusted to Cade Montana--the most dig-headed, infuriating... and breathlessly exciting man in all of Texas.

Cade had fought hard for the Rebel cause. But nothing had prepared him for this new war--a blistering battle of wills with the spoiled, hot-tempered temptress he'd agreed to shelter. Consumed with desire for his bewitchingly beautiful adversary, the virile rancher vowed he'd tame Gabrielle's defiant spirit--and ignite passion's rapturous fire in her seemingly, cold and distant heart.
