Emerald Sea (Diamond #3)
Cassandra Dean

Hope McElroy knows of a man who needs killing. Engaging the services of an ex-marshal gunslinger was supposed to find her that man in short order, allowing her to return to her life with a minimum of fuss. However, the infuriating man’s lackadaisical ways forces her efficient world to chaos, and she can’t help but be drawn to the gunslinger’s lazy grin.
The journey across an emerald sea takes Hope and Jake into unknown and lawless land, and territory uncharted by either one has them relying on one another. As they draw closer, discovering a passion that cannot be denied, will they find a way to map a course to forever?
