Jamie Craig

Lean Stroud is wanted for robbery and a murder he didn't commit. On the run to California with his partner-in-crime, Kenneth, he spots the relentless bounty hunter, Thomas Grady, on the train. The only way to protect Kenneth is to create a distraction, and that's what he does when he flees the train at the top of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. He forces Thomas to chase him, but nothing can prepare him for what it means to be caught.<br><br>Thomas Grady always gets his man, and Leon Stroud is no exception to that rule. But almost from the moment Thomas touches Leon, he wants the outlaw for something besides his bounty. Driven by desire he doesn't understand, he repeatedly claims Leon's body on the long journey from Soda Springs to San Francisco -- and Leon only begs for more. An even bigger threat, with a larger bounty, could be the very thing they need to drive them together. Or tear them apart.

Stealing West

He had walked through all the passenger cars a few times, looking for Leon’s younger partner. Unfortunately, he only knew of Kenneth Lawson by reputation. He had never gotten a clear look at the other man’s face, and the wanted posters for him were vague. He wasn’t the best bounty hunter in the region because he brought in the wrong men—he never wasted his time searching for an outlaw unless he was absolutely certain who he was looking for.
