Did you read the first book, The Bounty: Jones? This story follows bounty hunter Emmet Hallelujah Jones on a quest for vengeance. Along the way, he’s detoured by a competition of gunslingers and distracted by a pretty girl who needs saving. He combines forces with two colleagues, Lord Bowler and Mad Harry Gerlaugh.
The second book in the series focuses on Harry.
Here’s the back cover blurb:
Mad Harry Gerlaugh, a woman feared by name alone, sets off to ride the fine line between justice and vengeance once more.
Haunted by memories of her traumatic past, Harry keeps her emotions buried deep beneath steely resolve, focusing on her next target and the weight of her gun. When someone from her past resurfaces, Harry faces a fateful choice: to retire from bounty hunting and pursue a less violent career or to confront the demons that have haunted her for so long.
With each step, she grapples with the consequences of her thirst for vengeance and the toll it has taken on her soul. Will this showdown be her ultimate test, or will the shadows of sin consume her once and for all?
Michael Lopez, owner of the 0-0-8 Studios, who hired me to write the first book and this one, had this to say:
“[The proofreader] was a big fan of book #1. He also spotted Mad Harry from a distance – I didn’t tell him anything but he had a feeling from the beginning book #2 was going to belong to her. He thoroughly enjoyed peeling the layers back and getting to the bottom of what made her tick. ‘It was a nice breath of fresh air watching her character develop. Under all that stank of a cold-blooded gunslinger, there was still a flower.’
“Many kudos. … Only down vote was that he wished it was longer.”
The proofreader was, of course, correct: book #2 is Harry’s story.
While Emmet’s story technically fits into the category of romance with a “happily ever after,” Harry’s story is not a romance. She’s too damaged for that.
We learn more about Lord Bowler in this book. And as for Naomi Mason, well … I see good things in her future.
We’ve got the third book in the series on the back burner. I hope we’ll get started soon.
In the meantime, pick up a copy of The Bounty: Gerlaugh. It may be read as a standalone, but I recommend you pick up The Bounty: Jones and read that first.
Enjoy!
