A NIGHT OF PASSION

She'd come back to him. That was police detective Sam Garrett's first thought. For over a year he'd denied that U.S. Marshal Dallas Kittridge was more to him than his best friend's widow. More than a beautiful woman who'd turned to him in sorrow, and whose touch had erupted into a passion he couldn't forget or speak about.

Now the warmth of the Christmas season contrasted sharply with the case they were racing to solve. Because Dallas had returned to find the killer of a protected witness, not to fight for a future with Sam. But as the case got hotter, so did their desires. And then they broke their silence .

Love in the line of duty.
