Texas Heat Series by Cree Nations

Tucker Stone never wanted to be Sheriff. He's just a Dom and he wasn't looking for a relationship. Yet here he is wearing a Silver Star on his vest, a gun on his hip - and a woman that's nothing but trouble upstairs shackled to his bed. He could always take off the badge, and hang his gun up - at least temporarily. But the woman in his bed was an entirely different matter. For the first time ever he just might decide to keep her - at least then she'd be his. .. TROUBLE.

A funeral drove me away and now a funeral brought me home. Home - what the hell? This town hasn't changed in the years I've been gone. I stand here thinking, trying to come to terms with the fact my best friend is gone. Isaac Stone was the best of us - a rock hard loyal brother and friend and the most gentle soul I've ever known. Good thing those that killed are dead - well at least most of them are. I know one that got a way - but he won't last long - I'm good at what I do.

Bound by honor, loyal through blood, faithful to their code - the men and women of Cripple Creek Texas. Determined to a fault to do the next right thing. A fine line they walk between the law of the land or their own laws to bring justice to those who deserve it no matter the personal cost - for them it is WORTH IT.
