Synopsis: Beautiful Anna Harrison has carved out her life as a small-town lawyer. Brilliantly intelligent and fiercely independent, a female attorney of her caliber is quite the oddity in 1880s Montana territory! After losing her fiancé years before, she guards her heart as carefully as her treasured independence – until outlaw Jeremiah Brown comes into her life.  Throwing caution to the wind is not in Anna’s nature – but what can one night with her handsome client hurt? He’s leaving town the next day . . .

Jeremiah Brown has been working hard to come clean and dodge bounty hunters who know him as notorious outlaw Tommy Slade until the statute of limitations runs out on his past crimes. Though he’s irresistibly drawn to Anna, he’s well aware that sleeping with his beautiful attorney is a deadly game to play, even if it’s only “just” one night. Still, how can he resist?

But Fate has different plans for them, and they find themselves falling in love against their better judgment. How can they have a future with a price still on Jeremiah’s head? And how can Anna find happiness as a wife without losing her own hard-won independence?  When circumstances spiral out of their control, they both discover that love is the most important thing of all.

In the courtroom, in the wilderness, and in the face of scandal, Jeremiah’s biggest challenge is Courting Anna.

About the author: Cate Simon is a former lawyer who discovered she enjoyed storytelling far more than litigation. She went back to graduate school for Victorian literature. Although she loves her current job, teaching writing and speculative fiction to STEM students, she really missed the 19th century and began writing historical fiction. Courting Anna is her first novel, and she is currently at work on her second. She lives in Manhattan’s East Village with her partner and perhaps too many cats. Find her at catesimon.com.
