The Arizona Lawman
Stella Bagwell
When Tessa Parker goes to Arizona to investigate her unexpected inheritance she gets more than just a ranch!There's a sexy deputy next door and perhaps, when the chemistry between them reaches boiling point, she may just get a happily-ever-after too…
The prettiest rancher he’d ever seen
In her wildest dreams, Tessa Parker never expected to inherit a ranch. But as soon as she sets foot on the Bar X, the orphaned Tessa finally feels at home. And that brusque deputy sherriff who greets her? There’s something about him, too, that makes the rootless Tessa want to stake a claim.
Law and order make Joseph Hollister’s world go round. So when a Tessa from Nevada says she’s the rightful heir to his old friend’s ranch, it turns his universe upside down. Not to mention every fiber of his being, which thrums each time she’s near. But Joseph won’t get close to a woman who’s only passing through. Even though Tessa might be the only one who can repair his heart...
“You know, I’m getting the feeling that the two of us have more in common than just Ray Maddox.”
The husky note in his voice was so sexy it was almost like he was kissing her. The idea caused her nostrils to flare, her breathing to quicken.
“Why?”
Her murmured question put a faint smile on his face and then his head was bending downward, until his lips were hovering a scant few inches from hers.
“We’ve both lost parents. We both ride horses. And, uh, we’re both standing here beneath the desert stars—together. It’s like fate.”
The warning bells going off in Tessa’s head were deafening, but the clanging noise was hardly enough to make her step back and away from him. Something about him was pulling at the deepest part of her, urging her to touch him in ways she’d never wanted to touch a man before.
“This isn’t fate,” she tried to reason. “It’s—crazy.”
His soft chuckle fanned her face. “It’s okay to be a little crazy once in a while.”

“Tessa, you are now an heiress.”
The legal document Tessa Parker gripped with both hands looked real enough, and Orin Calhoun was the closest thing she had to a father. He would never lie to her. But the words he’d just spoken didn’t make sense.
Staring at the rancher, she asked in an incredulous voice, “Are you making some sort of joke?”
Orin glanced over to Jett Sundell, longtime attorney for the Calhoun family and the Silver Horn Ranch.
“Help me out here, Jett.”
The younger man left his comfortable seat in an armchair to walk over to Tessa.
