The Sheriff of Silverhill — Carol Ericson

BENEATH THE WIDE BRIM OF HIS HAT, STOOD THE FATHER OF HER CHILD

The safety of Silverhill rested on Rafe McClintock's broad shoulders. Good-natured but hard-nosed, the sheriff kept the peace in Colorado with a shotgun and a smile. At least until Dana Croft crossed into his jurisdiction. She was here on FBI duty -- a dead body on the rez -- but after all these years Rafe could still put a hitch in her throat.

Though a star was pinned to the rangy cowboy's chest, he didn't have authority over her heart. As they hunted a killer together, across the reservation and into uncharted territory, Dana's secret threatened to explode at any moment. But before Rafe could wrap her in his protection, would their reunion be cut short?
