Description

After a disastrous first marriage, Elizabeth has sworn off ever taking the plunge again. Then she meets U.S. Marshal turned sheriff Clint Garmen and thinks that maybe he's worth the risk. In love, she marries and they begin a life that is happier than she ever imagined. Until disaster strikes and Clint's friend, Leon, is shot in the back. Elizabeth, being an independent woman with a shotgun that she has proven she knows how to use, appoints herself as acting sheriff when her new husband goes after the culprit.

Clint has found the love of his life but his marriage is not starting out the way he has envisioned. Unbeknownst to him, while he is out chasing the man who tried to kill his best friend, his bride has put herself in danger too. When he finds out and makes it clear how he feels about it, Elizabeth leaves him, accusing him of being just like her late husband and her father.

But now Elizabeth has found herself in grave danger. Can Clint get to her in time to save her from the terrible fate that awaits her? Or has he washed his hands of his troublesome bride?

Publisher's Note: This is book two in the Lawman in Charge series and can be read as a standalone but will be enjoyed as the next adventure in the lives of Elizabeth and Clint if you've read book one. The steamy historical contains elements of power exchange.
