Les Bonneaux, Tome 2 : L'Indomptable

Résumé

Amérique, 1879.

Agée de cinq ans au plus fort de la guerre de Sécession, Suzanne, devenue depuis une jeune personne élégante et cultivée, a gardé de son enfance passée dans une garnison un caractère bien trempé et un attachement ineffable pour son unique amie d’alors, une petite Indienne. Résolue à la retrouver avant que, sur ordre du gouvernement, sa tribu ne soit déportée dans une réserve, elle se lance sans escorte sur les pistes de l’Ouest, un territoire hostile où les hommes font la loi. Et l’inévitable se produit : alors qu’elle fait route vers Cheyenne avec d’autres voyageurs, la diligence est attaquée par des brigands. Un échange de coups de feu s’ensuit, et la jeune femme ne doit la vie sauve qu’à la prompte intervention d’un des passagers, un homme énigmatique dont l’étrange comportement amène très vite Suzanne à penser qu’il est en réalité le complice des voleurs…

Description en VO :

She wasn't afraid to fight...

Beneath the polish of an Eastern finishing school lies a soldier's daughter who can ride, shoot and deal cards with the best. Which is why Suzanne Bonneaux calmly boards the infamous Cheyenne-Deadwood stage to search for a longtime friend before the winter snows erase her trail.

For the man

When the stagecoach is attacked, a shoot-out brings her face-to-face with Black Jack Sloan, a hard, handsome gunslinger who exudes the kind of danger wise men avoid. When Jack saves her life, Suzanne decides to ride by his side through the Dakota Badlands, with or without his say-so.

Or for his love

Jack wants nothing more than to put this upstart female in her place--and in his bed. But he's a man riding a trail of vengeance, and there's no place for a woman in his life. He's never met one like Suzanne, however, or had to choose between avenging his past or living to face another day...and a future in her arms.
