From Publishers Weekly
The fates of a newly minted lawman, a former prostitute, and the promise of buried gold collide in Kent's (The Traitor's Wife) gripping third novel. Set in Texas in the 1870s, the novel alternates between the lives of Lucinda Carter and Nate Cannon, both of whom are starting over but under vastly different circumstances. After years in a Fort Worth brothel, Lucinda makes her escape—along with a pouch full of silver from the stingy landlady—to the remote outpost known as Middle Bayou, where she's arranged a teaching position while she waits for her mysterious lover. Meanwhile, Nate, an Oklahoma native in his first year as a member of the Texas State Police, is sent to track down two legendary Texas Rangers, Capt. George Deerling and Dr. Tom Goddard, and alert them that William McGill, a killer they've been chasing for years, has struck again. The men form an uneasy trio, with the experienced Rangers unsurprisingly less than ecstatic to be saddled with a greenhorn, though Nate soon proves his worth. In Middle Bayou, Lucinda bides her time, waiting for her lover's arrival and for him to follow through on his promise of a life made rich with pirates' gold hidden near her new home. That Lucinda and Nate's paths will cross is inevitable, but Kent ditches predictable romance for a tense, unsparing look at the price we'll pay to get what we think we want. (Oct.)

Paperback. 1. It's the nineteenth century on the Gulf Coast of Texas, a time of opportunity and lawlessness. After escaping the brothel where she's been a virtual prisoner, Lucinda Carter heads for Middle Bayou to meet her lover - a man as charismatic as he is ruthless - who has a plan to make them both rich, chasing age-old rumours of buried treasure. Meanwhile, Nate Cannon, a newly sworn-in Texas policeman with a pure heart and a strong sense of justice, has joined two veteran hunters on the trail of the notorious William McGill, a killer who has dispassionately claimed the lives of men, women and children across the frontier. Who - if anyone - will survive when their paths finally cross?
