A Lawman's Justice by Delores Fossen

This story is part of the author's Sweetwater Ranch series. I haven't read every book in this series yet, but I've read several. If you haven't at least read book one, I would not attempt any of the others because this is definitely one of those series where each couple gets some resolution at the end of their story, but several main plotlines are left open ended to carry throughout the series. This book in particular reveals the answers to write a few questions that have been hanging for a while even as it opens up all new cans of worms.

Seth's stepmother is in jail awaiting trial for killing Shelby's father many years ago. Seth maintains Jewell's innocence while Shelby works to make sure Jewell pays for her crime. When anonymous tips send them both to the same eerie crime scene, they become the focus of someone's deadly rage. Although Seth can't stand Shelby, his years serving the law won't let him leave her unprotected. He brings her to Sweetwater Ranch, enemy territory in her mind, in order to keep her safe. The two of them disagree at every turn, but neither can deny they have a strong chemistry. Giving in to their desires brings them minutely closer until a ghost from their past shows up to ruin it all and put Shelby at even greater risk. Seth is forced to choose between protecting his family or saving Shelby.

I really like this series and couldn't believe some of the awesome plot twists in this story. I'm totally ready for the next book.

I received an ARC from Net Galley for review.
