In Fossen's romantic suspense novel, Kayla Brennan refuses Texas lawman Dade Ryland's protection, wanting nothing to do with a man whose family hated her. On the other hand, there was an attraction between them that was way too hot to handle. Regardless, Dade shields her and her baby boy when bullets start flying, but deep down he can't ignore his doubts that she's involved somehow. Kayla is suspected in the death of one of Dade's sister-in-laws, and her testimony should be his top concern. But the animal attraction between them grows stronger, more dangerous. But the killer is not who he seems, and is far closer than either of them realize. What a great addition to The Lawmen of Silver Creek Ranch series. ( )
