The arrest should have gone off without a hitch. Except that the sexy man in tight jeans Luce Montgomery had just nabbed was no bail-jumping fugitive. He was a cop! And Philip O'Donnaugh was proving to be more trouble than her elusive target.

Being ambushed and cuffed by a beautiful bounty hunter was a first for the newly installed chief of police. So was the passion she aroused in him. Philip had come to the sleepy New Mexico town to find peace and solitude. Instead, he and Luce were tracking down a dangerous criminal together and sharing a lot more than information.

Once the job was done, would they find themselves fugitives from desire...or passionate partners in love?
