When he awoke by the side of the muddy road, with a throbbing head and a lovely woman bending over him, he couldn’t remember even his own name. Morgan slater, U.S. Marshal, had to accept pretty Mariah Penny’s word that he was her cousin, Cain Law.
Mariah had good reasons for misleading Morgan, but there was an attraction between the raven-haired beauty and the lawman that made her long to turn cousinly conversation into more than a friendly encounter. Cain soon found himself running afoul of the law he had sworn to protect, all in the name of a forbidden passion.
