But when she wins an important government contract, her snake of a neighbor, Harlan Snyder, makes sure no local cowhand wants to work the Diamond R. With no one to help her, Angelica fears she may lose the contract – and her family’s ranch – until a notorious devil of a gunfighter, Kid Collins, shows up on her doorstep, dirty, bloody...and the most handsome man Angelica has ever seen. A Devil in Need of an Angel... Kid Collins is just looking for a place to rest out the afternoon when he knocks on the door of the Diamond R. But before he knows what’s hit him, he’s agreed to be the hired gunfighter for the breathtakingly beautiful lady who answered the door. How can anyone possibly say no to those gleaming red curls and stunning green eyes? He knows Angelica desperately needs his help, but can she afford the price – one night in his bed...? He’ll do whatever it takes to convince her to say...yes!
