This week I’m sharing another snippet from Trouble in Disguise, Eclipse Heat Book 6.
Miri figured it was time to find out who was following her. She camped for the night, built a small fire and made a show of grooming Possum before fading into the surrounding shadows with Ketchum leading the way in their investigation. Any predators lurking in her path scurried away at the approach of the big wolf guiding her.
She and Ketchum were squirming on their bellies on the ground using the twilight and half darkness for cover when her quarry struck a lucifer and lit his cigar.
“Lose something?” Deacon drawled.
She felt like a fool. Ketchum growled at the same time his tail thumped. Evidently her wolf couldn’t decide whether to bite Deacon McCallister or lick him. She had the same problem.

Since both his partners have married and retired from the hunt, Deacon McCallister is alone when he visits the Pleasure Dome, an infamous brothel in Fort Worth’s Hell’s Half Acre. He’s tracking a counterfeiter but what he finds is TROUBLE—dressed in a man’s ruffled shirt and nothing more.
Bounty hunter Miracle Beauregard calls herself Beau and for years has fooled the general public about her gender. But underneath Miri’s disguise, beats a feminine heart in lust for Deacon McCallister. Though she spends a lot of time dreaming about her rival, she never expects to act upon her longings.
When Miri follows an outlaw to the fanciest whorehouse in Texas and crosses paths with her heart’s desire, she trades her buckskins for bare skin to play the part of Deacon’s paid companion. But, she’s wrong when she thinks her time with Deacon will be just once. After she leaves her bounty hunter rival behind, she discovers he’s so enthralled by his one night lover, he’s on the hunt to find her again—and he’s got forever on his mind.

This week I’m moving on to the next series title and sharing a snippet from Trouble in Disguise, Eclipse Heat Book 6. The first time Miracle Beauregard (aka Beau) and Deacon McCallister meet.
“Boy, I’m talking to you; don’t ignore me.”
Deacon tracked the catcalls and loud insults to a spot in front of the Chester Saloon where a sawed-off cowboy staggered from too much drink and his companions didn’t look much better.
The lanky figure being targeted wore buckskins, leather moccasins laced to his knees, a sheathed knife tied to his thigh, a drooping gunbelt wrapped around his baggy shirt, and a short-barreled shotgun in an attached holster. As if that wasn’t enough protection for ten men, the kid carried a coiled bullwhip looped over his left shoulder, the grip dangling close to his waist.
Deacon snorted at that addition because only an expert whipster could unleash the monster and use it effectively, and that sure as hell wasn’t the half-grown whelp currently wearing it. An undeniable aura of young, dumb, and vulnerable shrouded the figure under siege.
But then the kid caught his lower lip between his teeth and emitted a shrill whistle, calling a snarling, slavering beast from the alley. At the same time his hand snaked down faster than lightning, retrieved his knife, threw it, and pinned one miscreant to the mercantile wall.
Then, with an almost delicate flick of his wrist, the stripling unfurled the whip, wrapping the end around the neck of the second bully while the third man sprawled on the ground with the wolf growling in his face.
“Ya’ll have a problem?” the kid drawled, surveying seven sets of stunned eyes.
