Almost a Lady
by Heidi Betts

She Was No Lady... Pistol-packing Pinkerton agent Willow Hastings always got her man. Until handsome, arrogant railroad security chief Brandt Donovan "gallantly" interfered in an arrest, costing Willow a collar and jeopardizing her job. And now she was supposed to collaborate with the dashing, distracting bachelor to catch a killer? Never! Brandt might be six plus feet of muscular, mouthwatering masculinity... But He Was No Gentleman Brandt was shocked yet intrigued by this curvy, contrary weapon-wielding brunette he found posing as a singe in a cowtown bordello. Willow's sultry voice, silken skin, and subtle scent of roses made him ache to savor her between the sheets. But go undercover with the perplexing Pinkerton? Chastely pose as man and wife to entrap a killer? Such unthinkable celibacy could drive a bachelor to madness. Or to--shudder--matrimony...

Heidi Betts' Bio

Bestselling, award-winning author Heidi Betts began her love affair with the romance genre in junior high school, where she used to sneak romance novels into study hall when she should have been doing her homework. It didn’t take long to decide she wanted to write a few romances of her own, so she set out to do just that.

Her first western historical was released by Dorchester Publishing in 2000, with five more to follow. From there, Heidi moved into the modern world by writing numerous category titles for Silhouette Desire, and has since added both sexy, funny contemporaries and sexy, funny paranormals to her repertoire.

With each new book Heidi sits down to write, she asks herself how she can bring to life endearing heroes and heroines whom readers will believe are meant for each other. And with each new novel to hit the stands, readers and reviewers alike declare she knows how to create stories that sizzle, charm, and delight from the first page to the last. Her first title for Silhouette Desire landed at #1 on the Waldenbooks/Borders Series Romance Bestseller List, where her books have continued to make an appearance ever since.

Heidi loves to read, write, watch movies (and just a little too much television), and surround herself with furry, four-legged friends in her home in the beautiful hills of Central Pennsylvania.
