Carly Fitzpatrick is determined to find justice for her murdered brother. Using her job as a reporter as a cover, she returns to her childhood home in Cameron, Utah to dig into the past. Her number one suspect? The McAllisters, owners of the ranch where her brother was killed.Sheriff Devlin McAllister is suspicious and wary - she said she was there to write about the town's tourist possibilities, but she's asking a lot of questions about the past and spending too much time digging into the newspaper's archives. He'll find out what's going on - that's his job. And keeping an eye on Carly is no problem for Dev - in fact, it's hard to keep his eyes off her.But the more time Carly and Devlin spend together, the more the lines between duty and love blur. As danger ratchets up, will Carly seek revenge, or love?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Carly arrives in the small town of Cameron, Ohio to investigate the murder of her brother Edmund. She tells the town people, including Devlin, the sheriff, that she is a reporter (that part is true) but that she's doing a story on the town. He worries that it will become a tourist attraction after her story is published and is against it. Because he's a man that has been hurt by a woman before and she's a woman that suspects his father as the killer, they try on numerous occasions to squash their mutual attraction. I enjoyed this book immensely because the story was centered on them and not so much on other characters. Accidents happen to her as she gets closer to finding the real killer of her brother and Devlin is always the first on the scene to help her. I will read it's sequel 'Fugitive Bride' the story of Shea next; I'm so glad she gets her very own story.
Terrific story!

Cowboy with a Badge is a wonderfully plotted story with characters that touch your heart and make you root for them. Another in Watson's Cameron, Utah, series, this story marks new territory and brings back well-loved characters. Gosh, it was good.
