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...
