A missing sister, a murdered father and a dangerous reunion years in the making.
The last place Honey Granger wants to be is Tumbleweed, Texas—the judgmental town that made her childhood a living hell. But when Sheriff Harrison Hawk informs her that her alcoholic father has been murdered, she reluctantly joins his investigation. The sexy sheriff has long suspected Honey’s father in his sister’s disappearance and vows to solve both mysteries. But keeping his professional distance from the vulnerable blonde proves nearly impossible. He’ll guard her 24/7 until her life is out of danger. But how will she feel if Harrison proves her father was a murderer?
Badge of Justice
“I’m going to find out who did this,” Harrison said. “I won’t let anyone hurt you, Honey.”
She started to say something but he stopped her. “Shh.” He pressed his finger to her lips to quiet her. “I mean it. People in this town haven’t been nice to you and it’s not right. I should have stood up for you a long time ago, when we were kids.”
A blush stained her face and she averted her eyes as if bad memories had assaulted her.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to remind you of the past.”
“I can’t ever forget the past,” Honey said. “Not until we figure out if my father killed your sister.”
Their gazes locked. Tension escalated. Emotions and desires flamed between them.
She shivered and Harrison realized he’d wanted to soothe and protect and touch her ever since he’d seen her at the morgue.
No longer able to resist, he stroked her cheek with the back of his thumb, then lowered his head and kissed her.

The dead man lay sprawled on the mountain ridge at Dead Man’s Bluff, his eyes blank, his arm twisted at an odd angle.
He’d probably broken it in the fall. Blood matted his graying hair from where he’d hit the rock as he’d gone over the edge of the ridge.
