Lawless
Diana Palmer-
After putting her abusive father in jail, Texas Ranger Judd Dunn marries 16-year-old Christabel Gaines in name only--and only to save their shared ranch from bankruptcy. Both Judd and Christabel anticipated that their marriage of convenience would last a mere five years but during that time their relationship had become one filled with sexual tension and passionate feelings. To further complicate matters, Judd is hunted down by an enemy determined to seek revenge on the tough Texas Ranger by destroying the one thing he holds precious: his lovely and innocent wife.

Five years ago, Judd Dunn, a hard-edged Texas Ranger, put Christabel Gaines's father behind bars -- where he belonged. But Judd's involvement in Crissy's life was far from over. With their jointly owned ranch on the verge of bankruptcy, Judd wed her in name only, vowing to save their land, and vowing to ignore the sexual tension between them.
Now, just when Judd decides to release Crissy from their sham of a marriage, he is blindsided by a bloodthirsty foe who is setting the stage for unspeakable evil by preying upon Judd's greatest weakness -- his wife. No longer a starry-eyed schoolgirl, Crissy's a smart, fearless woman with unfulfilled desires.
