A light amusing read, combining female P.I. with a U.S. Marshall brought forward in time, still looking for his man.
From the back cover: "For private eye C.J. Grant, it was one of those mornings. She'd barely survived one hell of an earthquake, when the handsome cowboy in the Stetson and boots who'd saved her life coolly informed her that he was Sam Hackett, a U.S. federal marshal-from 1882. Just what she needs: another macho male who's only passing through.
But there is something about Sam-something wild and a little dangerous-that stirs her senses. Maybe it's his lean, rugged frame and sexy mustache. Maybe it's his winning way with a Winchester-a talent that could come in handy on the mean streets of L.A.
This wasn't Sam Hackett's day. One minute he was hot on the dusty trail of a notorious outlaw; the next, he was caught in a crzy world of horseless carriages and fast-talking women. Like devastating lady detective C.J. Grant, who entertains some mighty progressive notions about the opposite sex.
Headstrong and reckless, with whiskey-colored eyes and a mind of her own, C.J. appears to him like no other woman he's known. But for all her 1980s ways, he can't help wanting to protect her-especially when they go gunning for one of the most powerful men in Hollywood.
C.J. and Sam. They're tracking a cold-blooded killer who's cut a bloody path across two centuries. Falling in love is the last thing on their minds..."
