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....
