  In this fourth book in bestselling author Peter Brandvold's exciting Bloody Joe western series, the stakes are higher than ever before, and the action is hotter than hellfire! 
   
   
   
  Del Norte Town Marshal "Bloody" Joe Mannion and his junior deputy, Henry "Stringbean" McCallister, run down an especially violent as well as beguiling outlaw in the pretty form of Mathilda Calderon. The senorita is just one pretty girl, but she fights like a leg-trapped puma, leaving Mannion with an arm full of buckshot and Stringbean hurting where a man just shouldn't be attacked, gallblastit! 
   
   
   
  Senorita Calderon is wanted not only for aiding and abetting the commission of a federal crime but to testify in a court trial against her boyfriend, the notorious border bandito and revolutionario, Diego Hidalgo, who stole three Gatling guns from the US Army, wiping out a dozen soldiers in the deadly process. Hidalgo and three members of his gang were captured by the Army. The US Marshal for the Southwestern District has sent three deputy US marshals to retrieve the senorita from Del Norte, and to escort her to Tucson. Bloody Joe believes she will not only identify Hidalgo as the leader of the gang who stole the Gatling guns but will also testify as to the guns' whereabouts.

  In the glittering world of wealth and power, billionaire Ethan Callahan is a man everyone fears—but few truly know. Haunted by a tragic accident that claimed the life of his best friend and business partner, Ethan lives behind iron walls of guilt and grief. His empire thrives, but his heart remains broken. 
  Enter Sophie Bennett, a determined young woman with secrets of her own. Hired as Ethan’s new assistant, she carries a hidden mission: to uncover the truth about the “accident” that took Liam Harper’s life. What begins as a search for justice soon tangles Sophie in a web of betrayal, deceit, and dangerous loyalties that threaten not only Ethan’s fortune—but his life. 
  As shocking revelations come to light, Sophie and Ethan find themselves trapped between powerful enemies and devastating truths. With the Callahan Corporation under siege, friends turning into foes, and enemies lurking closer than either dared imagine, survival will take more than strength—it will take trust. 
  But trust is the one thing Ethan has forgotten how to give. 
  Torn between her vow to uncover the truth and her growing bond with the man she’s meant to protect, Sophie faces the greatest challenge of all: saving a heart that doesn’t believe it deserves saving. 
  Suspenseful, emotional, and deeply moving, Saving the Billionaire’s Heart is a story of betrayal, redemption, and the kind of love strong enough to heal even the deepest wounds.
