Into the Sunset

She ran from the law and into his arms....

The moment she saw him she ran, desperate to escape. But he found her. U.S. Marshal Lucas McKenna made it clear his interest in Annie Sutton was very personal: He'd come to arrest her for the murder of his brother. Annie was at his mercy, trapped in a snowbound Colorado town, imprisoned in a makeshift jail until he could take her back to justice. She never expected to find love in the arms of a lawman determined to see her hang....

Lucas McKenna, the most feared lawman in the West, finally captured his brother's killer--only to feel trapped himself, tormented by her nearness, the feel of her in his arms, the scent of her hair. She said the killing was an accident. He couldn't afford to believe her. Yet as the winter passed, she slowly got under his skin, made him know her, set his heart afire. Until he had to decide: to lose his reputation and let her escape, or bring her to justice and risk losing her for good...
