Liberty's Love by Tess Matthews
Lost Ladies - Book 3
Sheriff Lucas Griffin, an easygoing, dedicated lawman, carries a dark secret that keeps him from the life he dreamed of as a young man.
He has been searching for the murderer of his parents for more years than he cares to remember. But taking care of the people of Solley’s Springs is his primary duty. When the Plunkett brothers attack a woman from town, the mysterious young woman known as the Wild Girl saves her. The sheriff searches the unfamiliar hill country for the Plunketts, but he must also find the dirty, raggedy dressed, young woman known as the Wild Girl. She is the sole witness of the attack and needs to be under his protection. No one knows anything about the Wild Girl, not even her name.
The Wild Girl has her own secrets that drive her to live in lonely isolation. But now the sheriff is chasing her, and she doesn’t know why. Fate brings them crashing together when she saves him from being ambushed but gets herself shot. Lucas cares for her as she recuperates. Sparks ignite between them, stirring feelings they both believe they can never act upon. How can they overcome their dark secrets and be free to love?
