Fire and Water (Harper Monogram)

Running from a dangerous politician who wants her dead husband's journals, Mariette Call flees through the Sierra Nevadas and puts her fate in the hands of Federal Marshal Matthew Kagan.

THE HIGHEST REACHES OF LOVE On the run in the Sierra Nevadas, Marlette Call tried to figure out why her dead husband's journals were so important to a politician back East. While eluding her pursuers, she succumbed to the amorous advances of her protector, Federal Marshal Matthew Kagan--a giant of a man who found her irresistible. Putting her troubles on his broad shoulders would be only too easy; asking him to trade in his badge for a ranch was impossible. But Matthew Kagan had ideas of his own.
