The Copper Heir
The Gilded West (Book 1)
An innocent woman kidnapped by a desperate man clash in a battle of wills that just might turn these enemies into lovers in this first full-length novel in Harper St. George’s The Gilded West series.
Emmaline Drake has always known that her stepfather ran with a gang of outlaws, so she spends her nights as a barmaid trying to save up enough money to escape with her younger sisters and never look back. Until the night a dangerous, well-dressed stranger walks into her saloon and she knows her life will never be the same.
Mining heir, Hunter Jameson has never had to want for anything. A son of the wealthiest man in Montana, he’s had the whole world at his fingertips. When her stepfather’s gang kidnaps someone he loves, he has no choice but to take Emmaline in return. He’s only taking her to arrange a simple exchange…until love complicates everything.
Across the wilds of Montana Territory to the opulence of a country estate, the line between captor and captive blurs as Emmaline and Hunter are thrown together in a storm of passion that threatens to consume them both.

St. George’s newest series, Outlaws of the Wild West, pairs a woman desperate to save what is left of her family from the justified revenge of a notorious gang with a dangerous man intent on her family’s destruction. Despite the well-used “captive falling for her captor” scenario, readers will find the sexy adventures of Emmaline and Hunter reason enough to stay up late. - RT Book Reviews
Harper St. George is an amazing writer. She took two opposites and put them together, stirred a lot and then watched to see what happened as everything settled. A wonderful romance, it has action, adventure, more than a few secrets and, of course, delicious romance. Add this one to your list. It is not one to be missed if you love westerns with an ending that leaves you with a smile.

This book had me hooked and I couldn't put it down. There's great sexual chemistry between Hunter and Emmaline and the story was so good I was disappointed when it ended because I wanted to read more about those characters just being together. I can't wait till book 2 in the series is out! - Amazon reviewer
