In a world governed by steel and smoke, Larry Cornish and Sven Erickson live by the code of the Gunfighters Guild — an elite order of twenty-five deadly gunfighters, each marked by a numbered Silver Pin, where becoming the One Pin is everything, and nothing is allowed to stop the gunfighter game.
In the Guild, where advancement comes only by challenging those ranked above you, their love is more than forbidden — it is impossible. For one to rise, the other must fall. Determined to break them apart, the Guild’s iron rules demand challenge or forfeit.
As a way of buying time, the two are forced to part ways. Sven becomes a mercenary for the Peregrine Estate, tasked with hunting down a mysterious woman known only as the Baroness of the Eastern Seaboard — a mission that leads to his capture. Meanwhile, Larry is drawn into a brutal mission of vengeance, partnering with a ruthless Guild rival to hunt a gang of men who assaulted a Paramour — a man protected by a powerful Madam whose influence stretches far beyond her brothel’s walls.
As their paths twist toward violence and betrayal, Larry and Sven face more than just death — they risk losing their love, their future, and each other. With time running out, Larry must race to save Sven before the Baroness’s vicious appetites cost him his life.
Baroness of the Eastern Seaboard is a high-romance, supernatural adventure yarn. The third and final book in the Peregrine Estate Trilogy, a tale of passion, vengeance, and the fearless pursuit of love in a world determined to destroy it.
