DESERT JUSTICE Armed with her Winchester, her knife and her bullwhip, Deputy Sheriff Jodie Walker sets out to find her father's killers--ready to follow them to hell and back on a perilous trek through Apache territory to the bandit-besieged mountains on the Mexican border. She is prepared for anything but U.S. Marshal Cade Brandon, who rides into Crystal Creek to hunt the fugitives down--and who doesn't need a woman to help him do it.
DESERT PASSION Cade is determined to do a man's job in a no-man's-land. But as Jodie gallops deeper into the burning desert, he will be by her side. She welcomes the extra gun, even as she flaunts her independence and her dead-eye aim. Jodie is fire and ice, a sapphire-eyed temptress who tries to keep Cade at arm's length as they follow the killers' trail--until passion ignites, and two stubborn but yearning loners journey together across the magnificent, uncharted wilderness of love....
Such a rare female heroine who was a deputy sherif, my first time reading about such character in a historical setting. Though this book consisted of quite a handful of secondary characters which I didn’t care much about.
