His past has haunted him for a lifetime...but one woman could be his salvation.

Caden Miller's compadres are becoming a bit too domesticated for his liking...

So the gunslinger sets off to Kansas territory to carve out a living and a space of his own - alone, just the way he likes it.

Maddie O'Hare has been drawn to Caden ever since she escaped to the Hell's Eight compound from the brothel where she was born and raised. And she's not ready to let him go so easily...until she's captured by his new neighbours.

When Caden discovers that Maddie is being held by a rival at a nearby ranch, his plan to rescue her backfires, and he finds himself the groom in what's literally a shotgun wedding. As shocked as Caden is by the bizarre turn of events, Maddie's grateful kiss holds a fiery promise that's far more unexpected. But with old enemies catching up with him, Caden and Maddie will face a danger that tests their passion - and will either bind them together forever or break them apart for good.

"Shadow's Stand is the best of Sarah McCarty's Hell's Eight series to date...an outstanding book - a keeper...fans will absolutely adore it like I did." - The Romance Reviews
