About this ebook

A sexy western historical romance by New York Times bestselling author Lori Handeland.

If you liked the Magnificent Seven, you'll love the Rock Creek Six!

Six elite Confederate soldiers band together after the War Between the States, hiring out their guns to protect lawless towns. Violence is all they know, until they make their way to Rock Creek, Texas.

Mary McKendrick, a headstrong schoolteacher who wants nothing more than to find a home, takes charge when a band of ruffians attempts to destroy Rock Creek.  With very few men left in town following the war, Mary hires Reese, the mysterious and reluctant leader of a band of guns for hire.

Reese is haunted by the war and all he did during it.  The only constant in his life are the five men willing to come whenever he calls them.  They will do anything for each other; they are all they have left.

Though Mary prides herself on managing everyone and anything, she can't manage Reese or her feelings for him.  Reese doesn't believe he is worthy of loyalty and devotion; he certainly isn't worthy of love.  

Can Mary teach him differently?

Fans of Cynthia Roberts, Isabel Keats and Kristy McCaffrey will love this gritty, steamy, emotional tale of the Old West.

Lots of fabulous writing. A real story. Not just about lust & sex. I fell in love with Reese the 1st time Mary met him. I felt like most of the conversations were normal. I really got into the story of Rock Creek & the six. I only gave it 4 stars, tho. Because sometimes it got a little draggy & dull. It was also a little confusing at some points, especially decriptions of current events.

I rarely fall for the first in a series free book marketing scheme however, I'm buying the rest of these. So many "sexy" books have no real story to tell. The story is no more than brief brainless filler between bedroom scenes. These books are great stories with believable characters and a few bedroom scenes to spice things up.
