Raphael Jones is a Kentucky-born scoundrel, who has never played by the rules. When Colorado mining heiress, Silver Nichols, hires him to stop her precious daddy from marrying a golddigger, Rafe sets out to seduce Silver and win her fortune.
But beneath Silver's cool veneer, Rafe encounters a sweet vulnerability and an aching secret that threatens to send his whole world up in smoke.
Now the wily scoundrel must choose: walk away or wager the one thing he can't afford to lose—his heart.

Review
"Adrienne de Wolfe's writing is clever...guaranteed to please." -- -- Pamela Morsi
"Scoundrel for Hire is a humorous western romance that will enchant sub-genre fans into seeking other works by the talented Adrienne deWolfe. The story line is entertaining due to the wickedly witty exchanges between characters...but the book belongs to that rapscallion, Rafe, robber of readers' hearts. This is another winner for deWolfe." - Harriet Klausner -- Painted Rock Readers & Writers Colony
"Wickedly funny! This book sizzles with a scoundrel you won't mind losing your heart to. Adrienne deWolfe is a jewel of a find." -- Christina Dodd
Note: SCOUNDREL FOR HIRE was named an RT "Top Pick" for December 1999 and was also awarded RT's K.I.S.S. Award for Heroes. "[Scoundrel for Hire is] a delightful, laugh-out-loud romp that will lift your spirits and have you cheering for more." - Kathe Robin -- Romantic Times Magazine, January 2000
From the Back Cover
Only desperation could drive Silver Nichols to strike a secret bargain with Raphael Jones. Their liaison is strictly business: she hires the charming scalawag to save her millionaire father from a nefarious gold digger. But Rafe isn't a man who plays by the rules, and the rugged Colorado wilderness offers Silver no shelter from his forbidden caress.
Their clandestine meetings leave her breathless, yearning for the fiery kisses that could make her whole world go up in smoke... She's wealthy - and she's up to no good. To Rafe's mind, that makes Silver and her millions fair game. He sets out to seduce the savvy, black-haired siren - only to discover that beneath her cool veneer lies a vulnerable soul and a burning passion. Now who's wooing for riches and who for love? In this high-stakes gamble, dare the inveterate scoundrel wager the one thing he can never afford to lose - his heart?
