author: Engels, Mary Tate
description: Their love was above the law
  
  When Brett Meyer returned to his father's New Mexico ranch, he received a hero's welcome--from everyone except Annie Clayton. The law-enforcement officer was recuperating from gunshot wounds, and he had plenty of time on his hands, time to visit Annie's apple farm a little more often than she thought necessary.
  
  Annie enjoyed his attentions; he was a handsome, desirable man. But Annie had something to hide, something that could put her on the other side of the law. It was inevitable that Brett would discover her secret.. . and come to her one day as a lawman instead of her lover.
