Overview

From the author of Bound for Sin comes a new historical Western romance that tests life and love on the Oregon Trail. Emma Palmer's been a lady of the night and a gambler, a thief and a blackmailer, a liar and a peddler of sin. But mostly a lady of the night. She's spent most of her life as the hard-as-nails, smart-talking 'Seline', working her way across the country to the goldfields of California, where she can finally ply her trade on her own terms. And she's a darn good Madam, if she does say so herself. Her place is clean, her booze is cheap, and her bedrooms are fancy. But when a would-be patron won't take no for an answer, she's forced to fight for her life and run. And what better disguise than as a nun? Tom Slater is a taciturn cattleman at the tail end of a long, hard season on the trail. He plans to have a quiet winter at his old family homestead in Mexico. What he doesn't plan on is finding a foul-mouthed nun stranded in the middle of nowhere. She has sly green eyes and a way of looking at him that turns his head upside down. Tom doesn't need to be trailsman to know that this woman will only lead to trouble.

Praise for Bound for Eden A delightful, roller-coaster ride complete with its laugh-out-loud take on mistaken identity. Three siblings on the run, ruthless bad guys, quirky charactres, nail-biting tension and steamy sensuality add up to a non-stop read that will make you smile and perhaps she a tear. Western aficionados will welcome a refreshing new voice in the sub-genre. --RT Book Review I adored Tess LeSue's Bound for Eden! Her voice is brilliant, funny, and immediately draws you into the book. She does a fantastic job of painting the Old West and the Oregon Trail, and I was immediately reminded of curling up under the blankets with a wonderful, 'old school' historical romance. The hero is sexy and protective, the heroine is fierce and independent, and I couldn't stop turning pages. -Jessica Clare, New York Times bestselling author I was blown away by the sparkling brilliance of [Tess's] writing. She has a real gift for historical atmosphere, compelling characters, sexual tension and witty dialogue. --Anna Campbell [Tess's] writing is lively and taut and generates emotion. Her characters spring to life and her stories move at a fast pace. --Anne Gracie Bound for Eden is a non-stop romp through the Wild West with twists and turns in every chapter. LeSue's characters leap off the page with heart and menace. An accomplished mix of comedy and suspense, I found myself cheering with the heroine as she boldly navigates the journey to Oregon and eventually, her freedom. I absolutely loved it. --Victoria Purman
