The Sheriff — Sarah M. Anderson

The last thing he needs is another person he has to protect…

Tim Means is the sheriff on the White Sandy Reservation -- a thankless job on the best of days. He's trying to keep a gang war from breaking out, vigilantes from running amuck and he's doing it all with a two-man force. When a kid named Georgey gets busted breaking into the Clinic, Tim doesn't have time to keep the kid on the straight and narrow. He needs a relative to take the teen off his hands.

But who? The only person who could take custody of Georgey is Summer Collins, Georgey's half-sister. She hasn't been on the White Sandy in almost fifteen years . But what choice does she have? She made a promise to her father to look out for her little brother, so she gives up her job teaching summer school and her hopes of a summer fling to venture west and meet a brother she barely remembers. But what she finds on the White Sandy is more than just a family or a sense of belonging. She meets one sexy sheriff and suddenly, a summer fling seems like just the thing.

But things on the White Sandy are never simple -- or easy. When the gang war threatens Summer and her brother, will Tim be able to do his job -- or will his heart get in the way?
