An older Nora Roberts but still fun. Victoria "Tory" Ashton has stepped into her father's footsteps as Sheriff and she's trying to decide what to do with her future, when Philip Kincaid breezes through her town she issues him with a speeding ticket and when he disagrees she tosses him in the local jail, mostly for really annoying her. THe relationship progresses from there.

Yes, it's predictable, but it's also a lot of fun.
Why is the picture on the cover of a blonde when the heroine has black hair?
En cuanto Phillip Kincaid se proponía algo, comenzaba a trabajar para conseguirlo. Y cuando llegó a Friendly, Nuevo México, supo que aquel pueblo era un escenario perfecto para el rodaje de su película. ¡Además, Victoria Ashton también era perfecta! Sin embargo, Tory iba a ponerle las cosas difíciles por una multa, y con ello, iba a conseguir que él se empeñara más y más en demostrarle que incluso una representante de la ley podía rendirse voluntariamente…al amor.
