If you enjoy lively banter and snappy arguments, rush out and get a copy of this book; it will make your day. This is the story of one determined older sister who wants to find the dirty scoundrel who broke her sisters heart and stole part of her inheritance. To do justice to the man, Eva Hallowell decides to hire the best bounty hunter J D Raven.
Theres just one problem, JD isn't interested in her case. He just wants to grieve over his dead horse (killed in the last foray with 3 crooks), train a new horse and rest a bit. Eva figures he just needs a bit of encouragement; the next time JD sees Eva, she announces to all within hearing that she just married JD and is traveling with him. By the time JD catches his breath, they are on their way on the stagecoach.
Eva doesn't seem to realize that being married to a bounty hunter can be hazardous to ones health. However, she finds out rather quickly when the bullets start to fly. If these two off-beat characters weren't enough, JD has a cousin, the Indian Blackowl.
If Eva and JD aren't stabbing each other with enough daggers, Blackowl stirs the pot a bit more. This is a cute, funny yarn about two outcasts who find each other (in spite of not being interested in finding a soul mate).
