Trespass by Meg Maguire
GR Description: He opened his home. She stole his heart…and his money.

Many would envy veterinarian Russ Gray’s life in rural Montana’s wide-open spaces. Russ calls it lonely. In a country with more cattle than eligible females, he doesn’t envision his seven years as a widower ending anytime soon. Until a mysterious woman lands at his door in the dead of night, riddled with buckshot.

Sarah Novak hates lying to such a kind, handsome man, but if an upstanding citizen like Russ finds out why she’s been three weeks on the run, he’d surely turn her in. Yet she can’t refuse his offer to let her stay until she heals, no questions asked.

From the start they fall into an easy companionship, then teasing flirtation flares into an unexpected intimate connection. But no matter how right it feels in his arms, guilt tugs at Sarah’s heart. Russ doesn’t deserve what she must do next.

When Russ wakes up with an empty bed—and an empty wallet—his first instinct isn’t to call the cops…it’s to catch her and find out why his urge to protect her overshadows all reason. Because he’s had a taste of real passion, and he’s not letting it slip away without a fight.

The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson
Description: As sheriff of Wyoming's Absaroka County, Walt Longmire is used to the mundane problems of rural life. So when Cody Pritchard is found dead near the Northern Cheyenne Reservation, people are initially inclined to think it's a hunting accident. But two years earlier Cody had been one of four high school boys convicted of brutally raping Melissa Little Bird, a young Cheyenne girl with fetal alcohol syndrome, and the boys were let off with suspended sentences, causing turmoil in both the white and Native American communities. Is this a revenge killing? Walt Longmire intends to find out." After twenty-four years as sheriff, Walt, along with Deputy Victoria Moretti and life-long friend Henry Standing Bear, is embroiled in the most volatile and challenging case of his career. He might be the only thing standing between the three remaining boys and a Sharps .45-70 buffalo rifle.
