Bear Haskell is a rough and tumble Texan and veteran of the Civil War who fought on the side of the Union. Raven York is a proud Yankee from a wealthy eastern family with aristocratic ties to Scotland. Dissatisfied with her life as a rich, well-traveled, and educated heiress, Raven headed West against her family's wishes and went to work for Allan Pinkerton as an undercover agent.As Pinkerton's top agents, Bear Haskell and Raven York get all the toughest assignments: tracking down killers, kidnappers, con artists, bank robbers, and train bandits of every stripe throughout the West. But the two couldn't be more different and are constantly at odds with each other. While they do not care for each other personally, they respect each other's work. And, they hunger for each other in the bedroom.Conflicted by their professional and ravenously sexual relationship, Bear and Raven do not confine their sexual adventures to each other. In fact, Pinkerton strictly forbids his agents from becoming personally or sexually involved with each other. Still, their paths are clearly intertwined, and the two must find a way to work together as they navigate--and trip over--the often humorous muddle of sexual temptation against the backdrop of the late-nineteenth-century West.
