Shot Through the Heart is a western historical romance set in 1885 Mexico. The Ghost Wolf desires only to seek revenge against the man who abused her. From the bounty she takes off his trains, she loads her gun with silver bullets: two for the hands that mauled her, two for the legs that held her down, one for that part of his anatomy that destroyed her innocence, and the final one for his black heart. Dillon West accepts a commission to stop the depredations of the notorious Ghost Wolf on Thorne Railroad, but he encounters a bandit leader he'd not expected: a cold, beautiful woman with a scarred face. As he rides with the banditos across the Mexican high altoplano, the Ghost Wolf steals more than silver; she also steals Dillon's heart. Now Dillon must find a way to help her overcome her fears and learn to love.
