Gate to Eden — Cathy McDavid

Maddie Campbell is not your ordinary thief. A beautiful young widow and mother, she likes to think her wealthy victims are merely "donating" to the many people in the mining community who have been left with nothing. Maddie is quite good at what she does...until a former lawman arrives in Eden to investigate the recent spate of crimes. He doesn't need to say a word; his piercing gaze arrests her on the spot. Despite her efforts to throw him off track, he seems determined to draw out all her secrets in the most exquisite ways--soft caresses, passionate kisses, and exploration of her most intimate places. But when confronted with the truth, will he choose love or the law?
