Beth Norvell

This retold tale can be described as "An Erotic Western Thriller." It represents a new literary form, a hybrid book that is the posthumous collaboration between a popular western romanticist and a modern-day "book doctor." This is the story of Beth Norvell, a mysterious actress playing the Old West with an acting troupe. Stranded in a small Colorado mining town, she falls for an adventurous mining engineer posing as a stagehand ... while coming face-to-face with the husband who had abandoned her, now a gambler who owns a stake in the Gayety Opera House. Sparks (and bullets) fly as cowboys, cardsharps, miners, and a Mexican spitfire collide in this erotic tale. "Second in this innovative new series, it reteams Parrish and Osterman as they strive to outdo each other when it comes to telling a titillating yarn," says Byron Rupert McCafferty, Online Critics Corner.
