Long Texas Nights — Lindsey Hanks

Prim, proper widow....
Proper preacher's widow Sarah Beth Hogan didn't belong in a dusty Texas town running a saloon in which blood flowed as freely as whiskey, but her long-lost daddy had willed the place to her, and it was all she had left of him. There was no need to fear the unsavory crew who patronized the place, for when the black-haired sheriff Cole Blade pushed open the double doors of the Do Drop In, his muscled masculinity and the holster riding low on his lean hips told her she'd be safe. But the dangerous desire brewing in the lusty lawman's stormy gray eyes left her completely defenseless!

Lean, Mean Sheriff....
Sheriff Cole Blade had become the meanest, fastest gunman in Texas to one day avenge his father's death -- not to babysit Sarah Beth Hogan. He reckoned the prim, chestnut haired widow wasn't even the type to attract hard-drinking womanizers anyway, but then he noticed that Sarah's spectacles hid glittering green eyes, and that loose-fitting dresses covered lush, creamy curves, and all Cole could think about was sampling a taste of her rosy red lips...and passionately protecting her with his lovin' all night long !
