In 1870s San Francisco, the fierce rivalry between a former gunslinger and a woman running from her past turns into a passionate, undeniable attraction in award-winning author Patricia Potter's sexy and suspenseful historical romance Marsh Canton, the scion of a wealthy Georgia family, spent four years fighting the war of a divided nation. When he returned home, he found his family gone and his way of life destroyed. Turning his back on his heritage, he struck out for the west, achieving notoriety as a stone-cold gunslinger. Now, reinventing himself yet again, he arrives in San Francisco to take over the saloon he won in a poker game. Natchez born-and-bred Catalina Hilliard is haunted by her violent past. Dubbed the Ice Queen, she sleeps with a Derringer under her pillow and runs the elegant Silver Slipper saloon. With the help of the local law, she keeps a monopoly on the trade by running all her rivals out of town. She's about to meet her match in Marsh Canton, who has also spent a lifetime running. But they can't run forever, and the passion igniting between them has just changed the stakes. Even with the odds against them - and a dangerous man gunning for Marsh - it's their last chance to make things right and choose love.

Readers will undoubtedly enjoy this book more if they are read in order (see the list below). Because I didn?t know RAINBOW was related, and Quinn Devereux appears throughout this story, I know I missed some of the inferences in this book. I plan to re-read this series, starting with RAINBOW.
This is a great book; full of sound and fury! However it is not as action-filled as LAWLESS. There?s lots of growth in the 2 main characters, but they are internally grappling with the people they were and eventually do become. Catalina is Marsh?s love interest and she has a wagon-load of awful secrets.
Marsh Canton is a 40 year-old gunfighter who realizes he is getting too old to continue in his profession. He happens to sit in on a poker game and wins a saloon in San Francisco. The idea of leaving his old life behind in Colorado and starting anew appeals to Marsh.
Over the course of the book, I learned that Marsh came from a wealthy plantation family and had a university education in the law (attorney). The shocking item: he is such an accomplished pianist that he plays Beethoven from memory!
During the Civil War, Marsh fought for the Confederacy and became part of Mosby?s raiders. Killing became a way of life that he continued after the war.
It took 3 weeks to read this book! I was so taken with his early life (Marsh's mom taught him to play the piano; she was an accomplished pianist in her own right) and his desperate need to reinvent himself; I kept delaying reading more pages. Having read LAWLESS, I knew how Lobo?s reputation ended, and I was so concerned that this one would go the same way. Talk about getting involved in the story!
Potter?s ability to resolve Marsh?s need to leave gun fighting was excellent and believable. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
