About the book
SIREN'S SONG Jim LaTour wasn't the marrying kind. With a wild past behind him, he planned to spend the rest of his days in peace, enjoying the favors of the local fancy ladies and running his bar. He didn't realize what he was missing until an irresistible songbird threatened his cherished independence and opened his heart.
Pursued by the man who had murdered her husband, Sage Larkin faced an uncertain future on the rugged frontier. But when she landed a job singing at the Trail's End saloon, she hoped to start anew. And though love was the last thing Sage wanted, she couldn't resist the sweet seductive melody of Jim's passionate advances.
