title: Tame the Sheriff
author: Walker, J.D.
description: What does a lonely sheriff do when all his friends are no longer single?
  Nicholas “Bulldog” McMurtry might prefer being footloose, but underneath it all, he longs for companionship in a way he can understand. When Russ Soames gives Bulldog a night to remember, the sheriff isn’t sure if his fancy-free notions are worth the loss of someone who could become special.
