This is a pretty standard boy meets girl tale in the American West, with the filip that the 'boy' in question happens to be a werewolf. But the author does a much better job than many of making the people and events seem reasonable, plausible. Throw in a cattle ranch run by women, some rogue werewolves, a rabid bounty hunter and a handful of Quakers, and you have a fine story.

From back cover:
He had his own brand of justice. LUST AND REVENGE ARE BEST SERVED AFTER SUNDOWN... Outlaw werewolves destroyed his home and killed his wife. But they made one mistake: they didn't kill him, too. Now, after ten lonely years honing his skills with a gun, Jacob Constantine is back in New Mexico, hell-bent on justice -- until he's ambushed by bandits and saved by an angel on her own deadly crusade.

With a gun slung low across her seductive hips and vengeance in her eyes, Serenity Campbell isn't who she seems to be. But neither is the mysterious bounty hunter who threatens to drive her desire into dangerous territory. Together they track their prey with the same intensity they circle one another. But will their growing passion be enough to right the wrongs of the past and bring two damaged hearts together?
