Cash (The Rock Creek Six Book 6) by Linda Winstead Jones


Steam: Steam Level 4

If you liked the Magnificent Seven, you’ll love the Rock Creek Six!

Six elite Confederate soldiers band together after the War Between the States, hiring out their guns to protect lawless towns. Violence is all they know, until they make their way to Rock Creek, Texas.

Rock Creek is the only place gunslinger Daniel Cash dares to call home, even though he’s surrounded by constant and annoying reminders that the others have moved on. His friends have made lives and families for themselves, they’ve finally left the war behind. He never will.

Nadine Ellington, a girl from his past, comes riding into town with the son Cash never knew they’d created before he left town to go to war. His teenage son who’s decided to become a gunslinger has come looking for a mentor in the deadly man he most admires. The man he doesn’t know is his father.

Nadine desperately wants Cash to convince their child that the life of a gunslinger isn’t for him. She promises her old love anything, if only he’ll do as she asks. While she searches for a trace of the boy she once loved in the hard man who’s taken his place, Cash is faced with the ugly truth that no one he loves will ever be safe.

If you liked the Magnificent Seven, you’ll love the Rock Creek Six!

Rico is known as “the Kid” to the other members of the Rock Creek Six. Though he can’t hit much with a gun, he is deadly with a knife–and with women. But like all of them, Rico has secrets that come back to haunt him.
Lily Fortier has secrets of her own. She arrives in Rock Creek after winning the local saloon in a poker game and sets about making for herself the life she’s always dreamed of having. Once known as the “ebony-eyed nightingale of New Orleans” Lily’s beautiful voice has lifted her out of a shack in the swamps. Though she’s always worked for others, she has her own place now, her own plans, her own life. She doesn’t need a man in it–especially an aimless, decorative man like Rico.
However, Rico proves himself to be much more than a pretty knife for hire. As they work together and make a home for both themselves and the two orphaned children who love them, the two begin to wonder if they might just be made for each other.
But when a Pinkerton agent arrives in Rock Creek to drag Lily back to New Orleans to stand trial for murder, will Rico be able to save her?

Sullivan (The Rock Creek Six Book 2) by Linda Winstead Jones


Steam: Steam Level 4

If you liked the Magnificent Seven, you’ll love the Rock Creek Six!

Six elite Confederate soldiers band together after the War Between the States, hiring out their guns to protect lawless towns. Violence is all they know, until they make their way to Rock Creek, Texas.

For Eden Rourke, making her way from a sheltered life in Georgia to rough and tumble Rock Creek is an easy decision, if not an easy journey. A tenderhearted woman, she’s always been driven to help those in need, including the half-breed Sinclair Sullivan who’s been ambushed and beaten directly in the path of her wagon. Coincidence? She thinks not.

When Sullivan discovers that the woman who saved him is Jed Rourke’s sister, he feels obligated to escort her to Rock Creek. He tells himself that once she’s there she’ll be Jed’s problem, not his, but Eden is not only tender and unfailingly optimistic, she’s persistent. And she’s decided that Sinclair Sullivan is meant to be hers.

Eden doesn’t believe in coincidence, but she does believe in fate.
