The daughter of a saloonkeeper, Anna Alexander knows no one will ever believe that she killed the man in self-defense. She flees, carefully concealing her tracks, hoping to begin somewhere anew. When Anna runs out of money in the New Mexico Territory, she finding a place to live in Mrs. Harrington's boarding house. Despite the kindness of Mrs. Harrington, Anna plans to stay only long enough to earn enough money to be on her way again.A walk in the mountains results in Anna saving Storme Warwick's life. He claims he owes her a life debt, and honor demands that he repay it kind. The last time Anna was alone with a man, it resulted in trouble with the law. Therefore, despite her immediate attraction to Storme, she doesn't dare encourage his attention. Especially when she learns that he's a bounty hunter. Nevertheless, the past soon catches up to Anna as danger threatens.Storme left Pleasant Grove because he believes his presence resulted in his father's murder. As a bounty hunter and half Apache, he has many enemies, and he knows that the bullet wasn't meant for his father, but was meant for him. His brother Ben's request for help brings him back to Pleasant Grove to track the rustlers who decimate their stock. As damage escalates, Storme soon realizes that the rustlers want more cattle; they want revenge. As he valiantly endeavors to protect Anna and his brother from danger, Storme learns that love is more important than life itself.APACHE ANGEL by Jackie Stephens is a sexy western that beautifully captures the atmosphere that makes historical romance entertaining. Not only are the hero and heroine passionate and believable, but the secondary characters also bring a richness to the tale. I wouldn't mind hearing more of Mrs. Harrington's past, as well as more of the girls who live with her. Filled with intrigue, twists and turns, APACHE ANGEL keeps the pages turning. Highly recommended.
