Publisher's Summary:

Texas Ranger Sloan McKinney was hired to solve two different murders - with one eerily similar M.O.

Sheriff Carley Matheson had her hands full: A 16-year-old unsolved murder and a strong hunch that the killer had resurfaced and struck again. As if things couldnt get any worse, the Texas Rangers had sent Sloan McKinney - the one man shed always tried to keep at a distance - to spearhead the investigation.

Now the only way to keep the citizens of Justice, Texas, safe - and solve two connected crimes - was to join forces. But someone resented Carley and Sloan digging up the past, and before long two of Texass finest found themselves caught in the crosshairs of a murderer.

Trace Evidence in Tarrant County

Carley Matheson is the first female shieriff of Justice, Texas trying to find a killer. In her investigation, she gets shot. While she's supposed to be recuperating, Texas Ranger (and former Justice sheriff) Sloan McKinney is brought in to head up the investigation.

Carley has a chip on her shoulder. She feels she has to prove herself to the "good ol' boys" of Justice because she's a woman, and Sloan's father is a suspect in a murder 16 years ago of the current victim's mother. One Sloan's father had been having an affair with.

Carley is stubborn and wants to be involved in the investigation even though she should be recuperating. Sloan would like her to rest so he can conduct the investigation. In the very first pages, these two profess up and down how much they hate and distrust each other. As the investigation progresses and Carley ends up becoming a target for the assumed killer, hormones kick in for the two of them that began 16 years ago.

As Sloan's suspicions about his father (and now mother too) rise and the attempts on Carley's life increase and he becomes angry with himself for not being able to stop the danger, they succumb to one another. Thinking they're safe in the sheriff's office following being together, an explosion almost kills them both. Sloan decides he has to stop all the distraction that is Carley and focus on keeping her safe. Carley takes his pulling away as meaning it was just sex for him while she falls and falls hard for him.

Still not finding the killer, Carley finds herself in a Ranger safe house while Sloan now works with his older brother (also a Ranger) to kick up the investigation. Carley's dream of becoming a Ranger herself comes about when she's accepted into the program. Sloan gives her that good news and then tells her he feels he's failed her because he hasn't caught the killer. He then proclaims his love and tells her when her Ranger training is done, he's going to ask her to marry him.

I didn't realize this book was part of a trilogy when I purchased it. With Sloan and his brother Wyatt now needing to (reluctantly) call in their half brother Cole (also a Texas Ranger and the love child of one of their father's numerous affairs), I'm looking forward to reading Cole's story as the killer for this old and new murder is finally found.

delightful story

This is one of the best books I've read in awhile. There were so many times I laughed out loud while reading this book. Texas Ranger Sloan, and Sheriff Carley pulled me right into this story.
