The Lawman
by Patricia Potter

1876 Colorado is home to some wild characters. And Samantha Blair is one of them. After all, how many girls find themselves being raised by outlaws? But she’s happy...until U.S. Marshal Jared Evans comes to town. He’s got one thing on his mind—revenge. And unfortunately, it’s Sam’s adoptive father he’s after.

Luckily, Samantha’s a crack shot. The good thing? She only hits Jared’s leg. The bad thing? He makes her insides quiver and melt like she never knew was possible....

Still, Jared’s out for her family’s blood. She has to stop him. And if it means keeping the good marshal on his back—and in her bed—well then, Sam will just have to do what needs to be done.

Even if she loses her heart in the process...
