One of three brothers adopted and raised by Mackenzie Monroe, Ben Monroe was a hot-headed hellion growing up; where he went, trouble followed. Now he sports a deputy sheriff's badge and for once in his life is on the right side of the law. As well, Rebecca Henderson, the girl Ben has adored since grade school, has come home to stay, intending to carve out her own space and her own life, despite -parental objections. Then the bullets begin to fly, and as Rebecca and Ben struggle to find answers, they are hard-pressed to resist the feelings that have sparked between them for years and are suddenly ablaze. -VERDICT A strong, protective hero and an independent heroine fight for their future in this modern rough-and-tumble Western that has the importance of family at its core. (A bonus novella, Sara Richardson's Rocky Mountain Cowboy, pairs a journalist with a cowboy snowboarder.)
