Janet Garret, raised in the notorious Garret gang, knows no other life. Disguised as a man, she has robbed banks, picked pockets and held up packtrains. During a bloody shootout, she promises her dying father that she'll go straight.
Given a chance to be a respectable schoolmarm, she eagerly accepts. Although she's never been in a schoolroom before, her outlaw skills serve her well.
The transition to being respectable is hard. Acting like a lady is much harder.
Severed from everyone she's known, she comes to cherish the town and the citizens in it—even Marshal Blade Blackthorne whose brother she crippled in the shootout. Will he recognize her and hang her as he's vowed? And can she survive falling in love with him . . .

A STOLEN TIME will live up to its title as readers will find western romance steals time from other activities to finish in one sitting.
Harriet Klausner, Reviewer
I’m always on the lookout for good westerns, and Boullion’s debut endears itself to me with its unusual storyline and heroine.
Wendy Crutcher The Romance Reader
This book was exceptionally easy to read and extremely well written. I enjoyed the clever dialogue and the skillful use of secondary characters to really flesh out the novel. . . . This book is a wild ride into the old west and is well worth a trip to the book store.
