A snippet from Five Card Stud, Eclipse Heat 5:
Rumors of her skill earned Eden a chair in a Hellâs Half-Acre gambling parlor. It was a male establishment frequented by high-stakes poker players, and it took every bit of her concentration to hold her own against the professional gamblers swarming around her like yapping coyotes. Nevertheless, her attention turned away from the cards when the rangy blond with the wicked smile entered the gaming hall.
âDamned McCallisterâs probably here hunting,â one of her tablemates muttered. Her lifted eyebrow and interested look elicited more information. âThat oneâs Sam McCallister, or Snake, as heâs known by the men he goes after; heâs one of three bounty hunters who ride together.â
Heâs a bounty hunter so maybe heâs tracking outlaws, not watching me play cards. She re-evaluated Sam’s recent interest until she felt the caress of his gaze roaming over her body. Heat scorched her cheeks and Eden hastily looked way, arousal distracting her from the game. It was only by sheer luck that she claimed the pot, winning the deed to Isaac Andersonâs ranch with the rest of the nightâs take.

Sam McCallister enjoys looking at Eden Pace across a poker table. She has to be the prettiest woman heâs ever seen, smart too, and the best card sharp heâs ever likely to meet. He has no doubt the lady gambler thinks sheâll win in their game of five card stud. Heâs got a hole card that says she wonâtâa Wanted for Murder poster with Edenâs picture on it.
Edenâs doing her own outlaw hunting. Sheâs on the trail of the man who killed her husband. Though sheâd like to forget the past and let Sam McCallister give her a future, she wonât do it. Sheâll bring her husbandâs murderer to justice or die trying. When Sam gets in the way of her goal, she uses seduction to free herself. But the hard-headed bounty hunter keeps dogging her steps, blurring the line between pursuer and protector.
Edenâs got more trouble than Sam chasing her. Sheâs using herself as bait to unmask a master criminal. The monster knows who she is, and he wants her dead. But Samâs not about to lose the woman he loves. Heâs pushing all the limits in their high stakes game. With hearts on the table and death on the line, nothing is certain until the last cardâs played.

âShe sellinâ it?â Sam frowned and asked Susie, one of the whores in the bar. He didn’t think the answer was yes, but if so, he had plenty of cash in his saddlebag and didnât much care what bedding the lady gambler might cost.
âYou buyinâ if she is?â Susie answered, giving him a disgusted look. âYou men are all the same.â
âShe sellinâ it, Susie?â Sam repeated his question as he drank his beer, ignoring the womanâs complaint.
âYer out of luck,” the saloon girl sighed, answering him wryly. “She donât have a reputation for beinâ an easy woman.â
I should be disappointed. Instead, Samâs jaw relaxed and the knot in his stomach uncoiled.
