If you liked the Magnificent Seven, you'll love the Rock Creek Six! Six elite Confederate soldiers band together after the War Between the States, hiring out their guns to protect lawless towns. Violence is all they know, until they make their way to Rock Creek, Texas. Not one of the men who ride with Nate Lang know what turned him away from God and toward the gun, then the bottle. They all have their secrets, and Nate deserves his. Jo Clancy, daughter of the disgraced Rock Creek reverend, has had a bad case of unrequited love for Nate from the moment she met him. When others give up, Jo is always there, determined to show this tortured man that life is worth living and love is worth anything. When Nate does not return from a job in Mexico, Jo sets out to find him. A single night of love—forbidden for her and forgotten by him—follows. Such scandalous circumstances lead to a marriage of convenience. Drawn back into a life he left, a life for which he believed he was unworthy, Nate is seduced by the prospect of helping others; he is seduced by the woman who is already his wife. But for a man with secrets like Nate, the darkness isn’t ever very far away.
