Publisher's Summary:

High-class madam Katherine Winter caters to wealthy men and vows nobody in her Kansas bordello will suffer the abuse she endured in the horrific marriage she escaped. She can choose her lovers, but longs for one who can match her in bed and out. Her senses tell her Daniel Creed is that man, a man with a dark secret like herself, a man who would do anything to protect what is his. But he is a lawman, and dallying with him is playing with fire.

Sheriff Daniel Creed has known Katherine Winter is the husband-killer on the wanted poster since she came to his town. The reward he would get for turning her in would make him rich, but something about the aloof beauty stirs longing inside him. There is no future for a half-breed gunslinger hiding behind a badge and a wanted woman, except life on the run. So he keeps his mouth shut, figuring the most he can ever hope for is to love the lady from afar and protect her.

He never banked on the bounty hunter from his past hunting down Katherine, then setting the town ablaze; all to force Daniel into a fiery showdown that may kill them all.

Christmas Showdown

With the townsfolk gone before the big snow storm hit, Daniel Creed can't believe he let Katherine Rose a.k.a. Mary Kaye Dowd leave before he arrested her. Actually, he didn't have any intent on arresting her. It probably had to do with his ever increasing emotions for her, but Daniel can never act on his feelings.

When checking the town one last time, Daniel is shocked to discover the object of his desire is still in town. As he checks out her establishment, the heat between Katherine and Daniel flare to life bringing about their mutual feelings. A bounty hunter comes to town intent on capturing her, but will Daniel and Katherine manage to elude him?

Christmas Showdown is a good western story set in 1885. The setting and the characters jump off the pages in this quick read. Daniel and Katherine can't deny what they feel and they go with it bringing much life and passion between these pages.

Katherine Winter swore when she got out of her abusive second marriage that no woman under her protection would ever suffer the horrendous abuse that she herself suffered. Having catered to men and their baser needs, Katherine pretty much knows what she does and doesn't want; and what she wants is Sheriff Daniel Creed. She recognizes that he is one man who can satisfy her needs while offering her protection.

Sheriff Daniel Creed never expected Madam Katherine to still be in town. When he sees a light in her bordello during a blizzard, he can't stop himself from checking on her. When she opens her doors and admits him into her sanctum, he finds himself powerless to resist her charms. No matter that her face is on the wanted poster in his pocket and that the money alone from turning her in would make him a rich man.

Daniel and Katherine find comfort and love in each other's arms. Their scorching interlude is disrupted when a man bent on revenge comes to call. Daniel quickly realizes that for Katherine to remain safe, he must take the other man down.

CHRISTMAS SHOWDOWN had all the elements of a story that I love. It was a western historical, the hero was a sexy half-breed lawman determined to protect the woman he loved, and the heroine was an innocent victim fighting to forget past abuse.
