Meet the West Texas Watchmen. "A smashing beginning! . . . The Sheriff is tightly plotted; the action is breathtaking and the characters captivating." -Fresh Fiction Sheriff Pete Morrison knows the secret in his past could destroy his father. Yet instead of resigning his job and exposing the lie, he finds himself protecting Andrea Allen-a beautiful astronomer who witnessed a gun-smuggling operation and a college student's abduction. Determined to be independent, a relationship with her conflicted protector isn't in the cards. No matter how safe she feels in Pete's strong arms. But when things take a turn for the worse and Andrea exchanges herself for the abducted student, only Pete can save her from the horrible fate that awaits her. "Morgan not only has an independent and quirky heroine, but an adorably quirky-and steamy-romance between the hero and heroine. While the playful banter was a nice addition, the storyline also felt fresh and full of intrigue." -Romantic Times

The author of The Sheriff "pens a lovely comeback story . . . With equal parts action, romance and compelling characters, she hits all the right notes" (RT Book Reviews, Top Pick). A city girl like Beth Conrad has no business on Nick Burke's Texas ranch. Even if the city girl in question is a DEA agent investigating gunrunners supposedly using Nick's land as a staging ground. One look in her eyes and he can't resist helping with her sure-to-fail mission . . . or his undeniable attraction to her. But Nick is fighting demons from his past, which leaves little room for romance. Beth vows to help Nick face his PTSD, and Nick promises to pose as her fiancé to help her bring down the perps. But when circumstances force Nick to relive the traumatic shooting that altered his life-this time with Beth's safety in the balance-he makes it his duty to ensure the outcome will be a whole lot happier.
