His Diamond - The Jeweled Ladies, #6 - E-book - ePub

Cynthia Hobbs is in trouble. Considered spoiled and vain by the townsfolk of Brimstone, she's hiding a secret-a sister who needs constant care. When her father informs Cynthia that she has to marry the slimy vice president of the bank-and her sister is part of the deal-Cynthia grows desperate. The only person who'll help her get enough money to escape town with her sister is the madam of the Jeweled Ladies-who recommends Cynthia sell her virginity to the highest bidder. One night will solve her problems-if she can go through with it.
Cam Douglas wants to go straight-there's a horse ranch waiting for him. But he needs cash, so he takes one last job-this time, robbing the bank in Brimstone. He visits the Jeweled Ladies for an alibi but somehow winds up buying a virgin at an auction, which is a great alibi. He has no intention of forcing the girl, but when Miss Diamond insists on being deflowered, he's far too much of a gentleman to say no to a lady. Cynthia never dreamed she'd enjoy this night, but Cam is a rogue with a heart of gold.
He gives her a night of steamy memories and then they part ways. But as she and her sister make their escape from Brimstone under cover of darkness, a rider takes them by surprise. It's Cam, with a gunshot in his shoulder and a posse on his tail. If she protects him, they all might be caught. But she likes him, much more than she should. Can she risk her heart-and her sister's safety-for a rogue?
