Handsome and fearless, Tyler Ashburn, a husband to be, running for mayor on a Law and Order platform breaks a few of his own rules when trying to clean up the streets of Sawtooth, Wyoming.

The town holds a gambling emporium and the beautiful saloon owner that drew many a male admirer's hungry gaze. Including Tyler's. She arouses his ire for her tantalizing conversations and tender kisses ignite a desire more passionate than Tyler could of ever imagined.

"THE LADY WITH A PAST"

Stubborn, impetuous, and audacious Miss Gabby Wade is the legitimate business owner of the gambling hall. Nobody willing to defend the fact that a place where other residences like to have a drink or engage in a friendly game of poker is being shut down, therefore she is running for mayor against him!

The trouble is, even though she would like nothing better than to defeat Tyler, her broad-shouldered seductive opponent, she will not let a man boss her around but she is succumbing to his bold kisses. As their campaigns heat up along with their passions, she wonders what the cost of winning might be.

However, if they discover a truth of the employer and father-in-law of Tyler Ashburn, it can be more dangerous than either Tyler or Gabby expected.

Together the temptress and the hero, affaire de coeur that both must resist to save their beloved life. On the other hand, nothing is certain but death and taxes.
