Welcome!
What are three
interesting details about the setting of Last Chance Cowboys: The
Outlaw?
- The story takes place toward the end of the 19th century when the West was becoming more civilized and settled. By this time people could travel by train as well as stagecoach, some houses had indoor plumbing and towns were more than just a wide place in the road with streets and shops and even city squares.
- While most structures in Arizona at this time were adobe with tiled roofs, I wanted Miss Dooley’s boardinghouse to be a structure completely at odds with its neighbors so I made it a back-East Queen Ann Victorian partially because Amanda is out of place when the story begins.
- Because both THE DRIFTER and THE LAWMAN took place on the Porterfield ranch or in the small town of Whitman Falls, I wanted to move this story away from those relatively safe places and put it in Tucson where the characters were taken out of their more natural element and tested by a new environment.

“‘Someone
like me?’ Is that how you see me, Amanda? As someone people should
fear?”
“I
don’t know what to think,” she said. “One minute you seem so
dangerous, and the next you’re sweet and caring and…”
He
took a step closer, his eyes sweeping her face. “And which do you
want me to be?” His voice was low; it sent shivers down her spine.
“Both,”
she whispered, and lifted her face for a kiss.
Amanda
Porterfield longs to experience real adventure. So when she’s
offered a position in bustling Tucson, she leaps at the chance
despite unknown dangers—dangers like the mysterious Seth Grover.
As
an undercover detective working to stop a gang of outlaws, Seth can’t
afford the distractions a woman like Amanda inspires. Yet when the
fiercely intelligent beauty is thrust into the middle of a heist gone
wrong, Seth will fight for a future that may never be theirs…even
if it means risking everything he holds dear.
