Deputy Laney Briggs Series by Jodi Linton

Folks say I'm reckless. I suppose loading a Texas Ranger in the ass with buckshot in my fit of jealousy earned me more scrutiny than the preacher's wife at a Sunday potluck. Now I work as a deputy, and the pistol on my hip is registered. I'm finally moving past all the tongue wagging about my youthful escapades. That is until Gunner Wilson, the object of said target practice, struts his cowboy boots back into town. Now he keeps showing up everywhere with that sexy grin of his... moreFolks say I'm reckless. I suppose loading a Texas Ranger in the ass with buckshot in my fit of jealousy earned me more scrutiny than the preacher's wife at a Sunday potluck. Now I work as a deputy, and the pistol on my hip is registered. I'm finally moving past all the tongue wagging about my youthful escapades. That is until Gunner Wilson, the object of said target practice, struts his cowboy boots back into town. Now he keeps showing up everywhere with that sexy grin of his. All I want to do is solve this latest case then kick the cocky, tattooed lawman to the curb. But Gunner has gotten under my skin. And hell, that's a problem, because I've made a new life in Pistol Rock, one that doesn't include my hotter than hell ex-boyfriend. Except now I need his help...and asking a favor from Gunner might cost me more than just a pair of panties... less

There's something about a cowboy, right? Exhibit A: Gunner Wilson--Pistol Rock's resident gunslinger. He's broad-chested, inked, with a devilish swagger that could make a nun to recant. He moved back into my life quicker than a cold snap comes and goes in Texas. I should be concerned since Mr. Sexy Texas Ranger has put me in hot water more times than I can count. Yet we can't keep our hands off each other. Folks in town say he's bad news. I beg to differ. He's changed... moreThere's something about a cowboy, right?

Yet we can't keep our hands off each other. Folks in town say he's bad news. I beg to differ. He's changed. They think I should give him the boot. Rid my life of more trouble. But what they don't know is-- I'm the one welcoming trouble into our small town. And sometimes a reformed bad boy is the only thing standing between a girl and some-not-so-very-good men. less

She takes her cowboys tall, tattooed, and tempting as hell... Texas Ranger Gunner Wilson is sittin’ in a bar, all six-foot-five-inches of long, hard cowboy. Waitin’. Watchin’. Bidin’ his time for Laney Briggs and her hot little behind to saddle up and make his night. His girl. Hell, after all these years, he knows exactly how to drive her crazy with need...for him. And Laney is ready to play. Tonight is their new beginning, and she has on her red cowboy boots—the ones that make Gunner wild... moreShe takes her cowboys tall, tattooed, and tempting as hell...

And Laney is ready to play. Tonight is their new beginning, and she has on her red cowboy boots—the ones that make Gunner wild. She knows that she’s only a few tequilas away from being pressed up against his firm, demanding bod. At his wicked mercy. But tonight, Gunner has something he wants. Needs. Even if it means that Laney will be the one in complete control... less

The only rules she follows are her own... Wherever deputy Laney Briggs goes, trouble always follows behind—except when Laney is the trouble. Right now, Laney is on the hunt for her not-so-bright cousin, who is wanted for gun smuggling. But there’s a sexy, hot-assed Texas Ranger on the same case, and Laney would bet her britches (and everything else she’s wearing) that Gunner Wilson knows something she doesn’t. It just requires a bit of sexy espionage.. moreThe only rules she follows are her own... Wherever deputy Laney Briggs goes, trouble always follows behind—except when Laney is the trouble.

It just requires a bit of sexy espionage... Gunner knows all too well just how damned distracting Laney and her little red cowboy boots can be. The pure, unadulterated want between them has never been stronger—and Gunner can’t resist making her crazy. But even as she gives into every carnal craving for Gunner, Laney is determined to get her answers, one mind-meltingly hot night at a time. The only question is whether she’ll be ready for the truth... less

Laney Happily ever afters are for wimps. At least that’s what I tell myself. Although, when you expect a proposal from your longtime boyfriend and instead watch him arrest your best friend—diamond size becomes a moot point. This time not even that sinfully delicious swagger will be enough to save Gunner Wilson from my shit list. Gunner Yep, Laney’s gonna have my hide. Especially when she finds out how much I’ve been keeping from her. Mafia? Check. Corrupt cops. Check. Fake arrests. Check... moreLaney Happily ever afters are for wimps.

Damn right, I have. But everything I’ve done was to protect her. I’ll break every rule in the book to prove to Laney I’m the best man for the job. less
