New Release — Beneath A Desperado Moon (Prairie Moon Trilogy Book 3) by Elizabeth Clements

 

Deputy U.S. Marshal Josh Hunter never believed he’d see beautiful Molly Malone again—but he’d recognize her saucy smile and cinnamon eyes anywhere. Trouble was, so would Buckshot Jones, the outlaw who holds a deadly grudge against her.

Molly has never forgotten that long-ago, bone-melting kiss she shared with Josh—a kiss that changed everything for her. But when she is kidnapped from the stagecoach by Buckshot’s gang of cutthroats, the handsome marshal with the green eyes and killer kisses isn’t around to rescue her.  Josh shows up in the nick of time, claiming that he and Molly are married, but will his claim be enough to hold off the others? 

When an old flame from England shows up to lay claim to Josh’s heart, Molly must fight for him. Can she face her tarnished past and keep his love BENEATH A DESPERADO MOON?

Praise for Beneath a Horse Thief Moon

This story delivered on all the emotions - laughter and swooning, sorrow and triumph.

Beneath a Fugitive Moon

Be prepared for twists to flip what you expect around.    —  Michelle Reed

EXCERPT:

Cripple Creek, Montana, September 1899

 “Well, well, well, lookie who we got here,” an ugly male voice snarled above the Saturday night din of conversation and laughter mingling with the tinkling notes of the piano in the smoke-hazed saloon.

Buckshot? Molly Malone stiffened, nearly dropping the mug the bartender handed her. Beer sloshed onto her wrist, dribbled down her green gown and puddled on the sawdust floor. A suffocating dread filled her chest. She was in trouble. Deep outlaw trouble by the name of Buckshot Jones.

Why hadn’t she changed her name when she came here? Could she convince him he was mistaken?

Mother Mary help me. Mustering a smile, she willed her shaking legs to turn and wished she could crash the beer mug over his head like she’d done with the chamber pot a month ago up in Canada.

    1. Thanks, James. It always amazes me when out of nowhere a secondary character makes his wants known. When I wrote the first book, there were no thoughts of this storyline developing into a trilogy.

  8. Awww, thank you, Sarah. You're always so supportive. I am so grateful that Michelle gave me such a great review, actually on all three books. And yup, I'm flying higher than the Canada goose flock honking their way south, a sure sign winter's breath isn't far away. I'd love to hear back from you when you've read Molly's story. It was so much fun writing it.

    1. I could swear I had replied to you, Beverly, but I must not have hit publish. Or I'm so used to hitting enter and here one has to hit publish. Too much excitement yesterday and today I couldn't sleep in, either. You made my day even brighter with your kind words, that you've enjoyed all my stories. This book was so much fun to write, and went up quite a notch in heat, but I have to be true to my characters As a writer, you know how that goes with your characters have a mind of their own. Sometimes my characters surprise me. And the cover....oh my, it captures Molly's feelings perfectly. That Livia is a genius. Thanks so much for stopping by, Beverly.
