Full Circle (Bridges)

Set in 1845, nothing prepared Lady Jacqueline, Duchess of Norgate for the pain of Raven Wing's poisonous arrow as it ripped through her flesh and pinned her to a tree. She had fled England, leaving behind the cruelty of Edward Washbourne and his maniacal plan to claim her inheritance, only to be struck down when she was so close to safety. She has less than a day's ride to go and she would have arrived at Edgewater, home of the current Duke of Forkworth, and brother to her dearest friend Millicent. Behind her White Storm lay low over his painted pinto, as he galloped towards the woman and the large grey horse that refused to budge from her side.

Pike is a bounty hunter and a cold-blooded killer, but when Pike rescued Lady Jacqueline, Duchess of Norgate, from being raped and murdered by marauding bandits, little did she realize, only months later he would accompany her back to England. It was there Pike met Lord Henry Jacobson, a fop who wore a powdered wig and face paint. When a warrant was issued for Pike's arrest for murder, it was Henry who invited the bounty hunter on a small boat ride down the English Channel. It was on that small voyage Pike discovered Henry was more than he pretended, with frilly cuffs and silk stockings. Then matters took a turn for the worse, when Henry followed Pike back to America.
