No more detours! That was the promise Angelina Lord made to herself when she accepted a ride from a wedding in Texas, with the best man to her destination in Santa Fe, New Mexico. What could possibly go wrong? Angelina is focused on one thing -- opening a fashion botique in Santa Fe. What she really doesn't need is one full-of-himself lawman with his aggraviting air of superiority and soul-searing eyes...not to mention heart-stopping kisses...coming to her rescue. If she lets him get too close to the truth, she could bring down the wall she erected around her well-ordered life and her heart. United States Marshal Jace Blackhawke holds family and traditions as the center of his life. He isn't a part of Angie's world and she certainly isn't part of his. Will their differences prove to be too insurmountable in the face fo the truth that will not stay silent?
