Fan the Flame

FOR THE LOVE OF A LAWMAN

For once, Samantha James was determined to follow her head instead of her heart, which had been broken twice already. Leaving home to teach school in Utah sounded like a sensible plan. Until her father insisted that she travel with arrogant U.S. Marshal Max Barrett -- a towering man who dizzied her with desire.

The Montana trail they rode held danger from a bloodthirsty gang whose leader Max had struck down. But the greatest danger lurked within Max himself. For he felt a fierce longing for the woman he was supposed to protect. And when Max and Samantha were swept by a passion as deep as the craggy canyons and as glorious as a Rocky sunset, they could only fear what lay ahead.
