Quicksilver's Catch

by Mary McBride

Marcus Quicksilver Moved Like A Mountain Lion On The ProwlAnd if Amanda Grenville had any sense, she'd be putting miles of prairie between them, instead of running straight into his arms.

Even covered in trail dust Amanda Grenville still radiated plenty of appeal--five thousand dollars' worth, to be exact! Now if only bounty hunter Marcus Quicksilver could keep his eyes on the prize and forget about the heiress...!

Marcus Quicksilver já vale a pena somente pela descrição de "movia-se como um leão da montanha". Mas a heroína, Amanda, é um porre. Insuportável.

Amanda Grenville was tired of being a bird in a gilded cage and agreed to marry Angus McCray to get some independence. However, that didn’t work as planned, she was still virtually a prisoner. So she runs away to meet and marry Angus in Denver. Now there is a bounty and Marcus Quicksilver will take her to her grandmother or Angus, whoever will pay. But, somehow avoiding other bounty hunters and trying to get to Denver is not simple. Pretty good western romance.

Quicksilver's a smart guy, he could easily have wired Amanda's Grandma but he would't have gotten a chance at love...
