Twice in a Lifetime — Merline Lovelace

Rugged rancher and widower Jake Henderson could have told you the exact day his life ended -- it coincided with the day his wife was killed. Because for the longest time Jake felt that he wasn't really alive, either. And then came that invitation to dance -- from a woman with the best pair of legs he'd ever seen. And looking up, he saw that she had a face to match....

Suddenly Jake was falling fast, though he doubted that lovely investigator Rachel Quinn saw him as her ideal man -- prime suspect was more like it! But if he could clear himself of the latter charge, could he still be convicted of the former?
