Tracker's Sin-Sarah McCarty

Tracker's Sin

ISBN: 9780373605484

In 1858 in Texas, Hell’s Eight twin brothers Tracker and Shadow search for abducted heiress Ari Blake, twin of Desi (see Caine’s Reckoning). Comancheros kidnapped Ari. Tracker finds her but not alone; Ari has an infant son Miguel.

To keep her and the baby safe, Tracker marries her. Still he knows the road is dangerous filled with Comancheros, Indians, and outlaws. He prays that he can take mother and son to the Hell’s Eight ranch so he can marry her properly in front of their loved ones; now he has to persuade Ari they belong together with Miguel as a family.

The latest Hell’s Eight spiced Texas romance (see Sam’s Creed and Tucker’s Claim) is an excellent historical thriller as Sarah McCarty focuses on the good (the growing love between the lead couple), the bad (stress and fear) and the ugly (abduction, abuse and rape). Tracker is heroic as he has come a long way from his childhood, but the novel is owned by Ari who suffered so much during her abduction. The story line is fast-paced from the moment Tracker tells his twin he will find and bring to the ranch Ari and never slows down until the final trek across dangerous Texas.
