Description

They met in jail.

Deputy Farah James arrests bad boys, she doesn't date them. So when an ex-con with a fiery past returns to town, she ignores the criminal things he does to her pulse. Behind bars, Jesse Rodriguez and his wicked looks were easy to dismiss, but as a free man with a life to reclaim, he's never been more dangerous to her--or her job and the ranch that depends on her paycheck.

When stopping to help a stranded motorist puts Jesse on the radar of the local deputy, for once, he doesn't complain. After all, Farah's just as cute as he remembers. Too bad she's also an icy professional who doubts he's a changed man. He's willing to give her up as a lost cause and make his way out of town...until an accident strands him at the ranch next door.

Crossing paths on duty is one thing, but seeing how good Jesse is with his hands threatens everything she's ever worked for. But Farah's not the only one taking a risk, and he won't torch his future again, even if it means leaving her in his rearview mirror for good.
