We're jumping into the Wild West with our Western choice this month: Lucky Red by Claudia Cravens.

"It's the spring of 1877, and sixteen-year-old Bridget is already disillusioned. She's exhausted from caring for her ne'er-do-well alcoholic father, but when a snakebite kills him as they cross the Kansas prairie, she knows she has only her wits to keep her alive. She arrives penniless in Dodge City and, thanks to the allure of her bright red hair and country-girl beauty, is soon recruited to work at the Buffalo Queen, the only brothel in town run by women. Bridget takes to brothel life, appreciating the good food, good pay, and friendships she forms with her fellow "sporting women. Then Spartan Lee, the legendary female gunfighter in the region, rides into town, and Bridget falls in love. Hard. Before long, though, a series of shocking double-crosses shatter the Buffalo Queen's tenuous peace and safety. Bridget resolves to claim her own destiny, Desperate for vengeance and autonomy."
