About this ebook

The premier name in African-American historical romance fiction, the incomparable Beverly Jenkins returns to the American West with Night Hawk—a blistering tale of high-stakes romance that unites a hard-as-nails bounty hunter with a gorgeous spitfire whom he rescues from a vigilante mob.

Outlaw.Preacher. Night Hawk. He’s had many names, but he can’t escape the past.

Since Ian Vance’s beloved wife was murdered years ago, the hardened bounty hunter know she’ll never feel love or tenderness again, so he’s made it his mission to ensure others get their justice. But when he’s charged with delivering a sharp-eyed beauty to the law, Ian can’t help but feel he may still have something left to lose.

Orphaned at twelve, Maggie Freeman has always found her way out of trouble. But now there’s a vigilante mob at her back who would like nothing more than to see her hang for a crime she didn’t commit. Maggie may have to accept help for the first time in her life . . .even if it’s from the one man standing between her and freedom.

Beautiful, outspoken, woman of mixed native and black heritage is a prisoner passed off to bible quoting, sawed off shotgun toting, ex bounty hunter, U.S. deputy marshal of mixed Scottish and black heritage. Vigilantes are out to lynch her for murder and he is to see that she is safely turned over to the sheriff in the next town to be bound over for trial. That's just the beginning of this brilliantly written historical western romance by Beverly Jenkins! I have re-read this book countless times and fall in love with Ian Vance aka Preacher aka Night Hawk everytime. Maggie is an awe inspiring, never say die, kind of woman that has you rooting for her all the way. Pick this book up and I guarantee you won't put it down until you see the words The End.

Beverly Jenkins never disappoints! Her stories of love and adventures interwoven with American history are all brilliant works of art. Her descriptions of scenes are awe inspiring and never fail to make one actually see in their minds eye the places about which she is writing. I love that her heroes are not perfect gentlemen because every woman likes a little bit of a "bad boy" and I love that her heroines are strong women of substance. I could read her stories forever.

All of Ms Jenkins' books are wonderful and this one is no exception. Although I think I love this one's cover more!
