Look-Alike Lawman
Former lawman Zane Robinson never thought he’d wear a badge again—but to locate his missing twin brother, Zane’s taking on his identity as sheriff of Proud Bend, Colorado. There he discovers heiress Rachel Smith conducting her own search for a mother and child who’ve also disappeared from the small town. The cases could be connected, so Zane reluctantly agrees to team up with the feisty beauty.
Rachel can’t afford to be seen getting too close to Zane—it could impact her ministry for misguided young women. But as the investigation continues, she’s hopelessly drawn to the gruff yet honorable lawman. Though trust doesn’t come easily to Rachel or Zane, in searching for the missing will they risk losing their hearts?
“Maybe I don’t want anything that badly,” Zane said with a shrug.
Rachel folded her arms. “That’s a flimsy excuse.”
“Like yours is for coming here?”
“What do you mean?”
He tipped his head and walked closer to her. She refused to back away and thus show him how much he affected her.
“I thought that you wanted to keep your distance from any lawman so that the women in your ministry finally learn to trust you.”
Oh, that.
“You’ve come up with a cheap excuse to see me.”
Her cheeks hot, Rachel arched her brows. “Aren’t you full of yourself? I came here to tell you not to give up.”
To prove her point, she dared to take a step toward him. He didn’t move. The air stilled around them, and he reached out and touched her chin. His fingers were warm, a striking contrast to the cold air that moved briskly over her face. They stared each other down.
His voice lowered. “Do you want me to stay, Rachel?”
Her heart pounded in her throat. Did she?
