Welcome to Burr

U.S. Marshal Jedidiah Brown knew Susannah Calhoun was trouble from the moment he met her, but he certainly never expected her to end up accused of murder. When he arrives to escort her to her trial in Denver, he finds the blonde beauty is just as captivating as he remembers-and just as desirable. But he's determined to resist her wiles and do his duty to keep her safe...no matter how much he longs to taste those sweet lips again.Susannah still hasn't forgiven Jedidiah for leaving her without a word a year ago, and she certainly isn't happy to see him now that she's been accused of a crime she didn't commit. The frustrating man doesn't seem to believe in her innocence, and he's immune to her charms to boot! So she does the only thing she can-she stages a jailbreak.But she can't escape Jedidiah, and their trip to Denver becomes a race to survive as they are pursued by enemies who want Susannah dead before she ever makes it to court. Only Jedidiah can keep her alive, but the more time they spend together, the more they realize they're fighting for more than clearing Susannah's name-they're fighting their hearts as well.

When bounty hunter J.G. Kerrigan comes to Burr, Wyoming Territory, he's in for two big surprises. The first: his old back-stabbing nemesis Blade is in town, trying to pass himself off as a respectable citizen. Kerrigan is determined to bring him to justice, and becoming the sheriff of the small town Blade cares about seems the best way to do it.The second surprise? A kind, pretty reverend's daughter...with a backbone of steel and blood hot enough to put the desert sun to shame.Marianne Westerly has lived in Burr her whole life, and when her marriage abruptly ended in an embarrassing scandal, the entire town stood behind her in support. However, their well-meaning concern has turned to nearly smothering pity, and Marianne is determined to leave Burr and move to another city-anywhere else, really, as long as no one knows her story.But the new sheriff arouses emotions in her she'd never thought to feel again, and she wonders if she should continue with her plan. If she throws caution to the wind, she could find out the attraction is mutual, or risk a second round of heartbreak. One thing's certain, though-in Burr, the trail to love is always bumpy.
