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 hissed and tightened his grip on the back of Thomas’s head. “I have that effect on a lot of people. Though I like the way you show it the best.”


Thomas rolled the hard tip of Leon’s nipple between his teeth, flicking his tongue over the tip again and again until Leon arched off the bed. “I hope you don’t have the same effect on other people that you have on me.” He reached between their bodies and squeezed Leon’s shaft. “I might get jealous.”


The bliss racing through him at the hard grip on his prick was nothing compared to the joy Thomas’s words created. “You don’t have to be.” He skimmed his hands up and down Thomas’s back. “I’m all yours, sir. I don’t want anyone but you.”


“Good.” Thomas lapped at his skin, moving lower on Leon’s body without lifting his head. Leon thought he could feel Grady’s mouth everywhere, even spots Thomas hadn’t reached yet. “That include your old partner?”
