0671004018 Editorial Reviews nAmazon Review nIn this trade paperback flip book, Linda Lael Miller tells two complete stories, bringing together twin brothers who are separated at birth when their parents die on a wagon train headed for California. In The Lawman, Shay McQuillan, town marshal, teams up with his newly discovered twin, Tristan Saint-Laurent, to track down the elusive stagecoach robbers who stole Tristan's money and murdered Shay's fianc?e. Shay is drawn to pretty Aislinn Lethaby, a newcomer to town with limited resources and a generous heart, whose desire to save Shay from danger provokes his exasperation and wins his love. In The Gunslinger, Tristan, a former bounty hunter recently turned cattle rancher, tangles with spirited Emily Starbuck, whose herd of sheep has the locals up in arms, while her innocent sensuality makes Tristan dream of settling down. Miller has a winning way with rascally Western characters and conveys the romantic relationships with down home sweetness. Readers will enjoy the competitive camaraderie between Shay and Tristan, who delight in confounding town folk--by posing as each other! --Ellen Edwards n nProduct Description n n nThe Lawman n n nMarshal Shay McQuillan has a lot on his hands -- stagecoach robbers to hunt down, a murdered fianc?e to avenge. He certainly doesn't need an identical twin brother he never knew existed turning up out of the blue and telling him what to do. Even less does he want pretty Aislinn Lethaby trying to rescue him from danger. Because, to tell the truth, Aislinn is a sweet distraction from duty whom Shay just can't resist. n nAislinn Lethaby has a fine job at the town hotel. Soon, she'll have saved enough to buy the broken-down homestead she has her eye on and bring her young brothers west. She has no business jeopardizing everything when she sees Shay in danger. But something about the man makes Aislinn lose all the good sense she thought she had -- and follow the longings of her heart. n n nThe Gunslinger n n nNow that he's finally found his twin brother, all Tristan Saint-Laurent wants is to be a peaceful rancher. What he gets is Miss Emily Starbuck, a determined package of trouble from back East. Tristan knows he should tell Emily and her aggravating sheep to move along, but he doesn't have the heart. Suddenly this man of danger is dreaming of weddings and babies. But the life he's left behind may yet come between him and the woman he's growing to love. n nEmily Starbuck is making a fresh start by raising the sheep she's bought with a meager inheritance. She's willing to fight every cattleman in the West, but she can't resist Tristan. His handsome face and lean, strong body make her knees buckle, and her thoughts move to sharing a blissful ranch life with the man. But what Emily doesn't know about Tristan could jeopardize their dream of happiness.
