Hot Wind in Eden — Ada Steward

Single mother Rebecca Carder thought she'd found a place to hide, where her child--and her secret--would be safe. She never imagined that a threat would come in the form of the town's ruggedly handsome sheriff, Cody Lockhart, a man who was making it his job to watch over her ....

But Rebecca would never let a Lockhart near her--or her son.

Cody knew Rebecca wanted to be left alone, yet how could he turn away from a woman who brought out protective instincts he'd never known he had? In Rebecca's beautiful brown eyes he saw fear... and in her son's eyes he saw something undeniably familiar. Something that told Cody he wasn't going to like the truth. . .
