Romance Erotica Sensual | Erotic

This is a hot and steamy romance between a sheriff and a girl who may be on the wrong side of the law. Once he decides to protect her there is no going back - but can he trust the girl who once broke his heart? In LAYING DOWN THE LAW Zuni Prescott is forced to open a bank vault during a raid. She guesses the identity of the hooded raider but stays quiet and escapes with her life. Terrified, she leaves Dallas and drives back to the town where she grew up to hide. However her car is washed off a low bridge during a sudden rainstorm. Colt Triplehorn saves Zuni from a bull on the riverbank on his family's ranch and takes her back to the ranch house. She doesn't know if she can trust him; they were high- school sweethearts but she left when her stepfather threw her out after graduating. Colt had never told her how much she meant to him and now she is being framed for a robbery and murder. For his part, Colt as sheriff has to uphold the law, and Zuni was untrustworthy before, while her slim naked body causes all too strong a reaction in him. Could she be using him? His brothers warn that she is not the staying kind, and when her car is found, the wet wads of money it contains are highly suspicious. Then someone arrives who wants to silence Zuni for good.... Fans of raunchy ranch tales or those who like a little crime with their romance, will enjoy this novel by Delilah Devin.

SUMMARY

Seeking sanctuary could be the hottest mistake she ever made. The TripleHorn Brand, Book 1 A lifetime ago, Zuri Prescott kicked the dirt off her boots and ditched her small-time small town for the glam city life—and lived to regret it. When she’s framed for a bank job, she lights out for home, seeking refuge with her old high school sweetheart while she figures out her next steps. Only she discovers that the boy she left behind is the last man she should trust. Sheriff Colt Triplehorn knows trouble when he sees it, especially when it comes in the form of a familiar trespasser, caught naked between an angry bull and her underwear. Sure she’s up to her usual no good, he grants her sanctuary at his ranch—the better to keep an eye on her, and purge her from his system once and for all.

Reconnection is sweet and hot, but the heat can’t hide the truth. When Colt inevitably finds out what Zuri’s running from, it’s too late to put the fire out, and he’s got a career-compromising choice on his hands. Follow the letter of the law, or follow his heart. Warning: When a sheriff captures the girl who got away, expect revenge so hot it leaves brands on two lonely hearts...
