Under The Marshal's Protection oleh Anna J. Stewart

He wants to protect her...from herself.

Working together, they discover that putting their past behind them is easier than ignoring the heat that simmers between them. And, as an already menacing case takes unexpected twists, Howell’s not always sure that Kara wants justice more than she wants revenge...
