In the Arms of the Law

Home on the Ranch

By the author of She Caught the Sheriff

The Silver Dollar Ranch, near Tombstone, Arizona

Morgan Bodine takes pride in two things: being a rancher and being a lawman. He's part owner of the Silver Dollar Ranch; he's also Tombstone's acting sheriff.

Jasentha Cliffwalker is proud of her Apache heritage. And she's proud of her work as a biologist. Jaz is living on Bodine land; in fact, she grew up on the Bodine ranch, where her father still works. Jasentha, who's become something of a recluse for reasons she won't discuss, has devoted her life to studying and protecting the bats that live in the Silver Dollar's caves.

Years ago Morgan and Jasentha were in love—but it was a love they weren't ready for. Are they ready now?

They'll find out when a stranger comes to Tombstone, threatening everything they value most….

"Anne Marie Duquette's romantic thrillers are truly thrilling, full of exciting action and suspense."
