Love's Lasso — Kianna Alexander

When Deidra LaRue is called to town hall for a meeting, she knows the news can't be good. She's been madam at Miss LaRue's Gentleman's Club for a decade and the “good” folks of town have made no effort to hide their opinions about her line of work. When she finds out they have taken over her home and sold it without her knowledge, she has to find a way to begin again. But it's 1850 and she has few options.

Carter Thibedeaux has spent the last several years in the Indian Territories as a trapper. After too many close calls from the elements and the beasts of the wild, he heads east to his aunt and uncle's home town, seeking a new life and someone to share it with.

Deidra and Carter's paths cross at town hall and nothing will ever be the same for either of them. His gallant attempts to comfort her touch her heart and her beauty and intelligence capture his. But they face deep prejudices in the small town. What lies ahead is danger, uncertainty and the beginnings of an unparalleled love.
