She sat on his back, his wrists in her hands.
“Now, gentlemen, tell me how many times you’ve played this little game of yours and how often it works.”
They were both silent as they lay on their stomachs in the grass.
“Uh, we’re sorry. A lot of women like it,” the youngest man said.
“Well, as a peace officer, I don’t,” she said.
A tall, handsome man wearing a cowboy hat and dressed in jeans came around the corner and shook his head. “What have you two idiots done now?”
They glanced up at the man and groaned.
“They’re pretending to be officers and they were going to arrest me,” she said.
The man gazed at her, his dark eyes traveling along her body. A heat she’d not felt in a long time caressed her.
“Jordan Nash,” he said, stepping toward her and helping her up off the kid’s back. “Sheriff of Blessing, Texas, and this one is my stupid younger brother. The one beside him is my deputy’s stupid younger brother.”
She shook the man’s hand, the heat spiraling up her arm and down into her center.
The Nash family had a long history of being peace officers in the little town. But she was investigating suspected corruption.
And she wasn’t one to put up with anyone disrespecting the law or using it to their advantage. Not with her credentials asMarshalCamila Garcia.
This was her suspect. The man she was here to investigate. When a child went missing and the law officers were the last to have seen them, it threw suspicion on the lawmen and their office. It was time to find out what happened to five-year-old Rena Taylor. The child had been missing for over three months.
“Do you want to file charges against these two?” he asked seriously.
Staring down at them, she grinned and wanted to put the fear of God into them. “Well, they were going to spread me wide and lick every inch of my beautiful skin.”
The kids on the ground groaned.
“I think he’s a little too young to be making those kinds of promises,” the sheriff said. “Hell, the boy is in college, but his maturity level is junior high. And obviously, he hasn’t learned the art of talking to a woman.”
She laughed. That was true.
Another man came around the corner and shook his head.
“Kyle, I swear I’m going to take you out behind the barn. What did he do now?”
Jordan turned and shook his head. “He and Franco were harassing her.”
The man gazed at her and she returned his stare. He must be the deputy – the other man she was to investigate.
“Deputy Ely Austin,” the man said, holding out his hand.
“Marshal Camila Garcia,” she said. “I’m Trevor’s sister.”
The two men’s brows rose as they stared at her.
Why did she like these two lawmen? They were her prime suspects. Yet they were strong with muscled forearms and faces that were so damn good-looking.
“I’m here for the wedding, but I’d love to visit your office.”
The two men glanced at one another and frowned. “When?”
“Now,” she said.
