In The Arms of the Law by Peggy Moreland "There's no way I'm going to let another man ruin my career." -- Andrea Matthews, detective A young man's body washes ashore near Ryan Fortune's ranch -- and everyone is surprised to see he has the famous Fortune crown birthmark. Could the mystery man really be "the lost Fortune"? Before Detective Andrea Matthews can find out, she has to convince her young, headstrong -- and all right, she'll admit it, sexy -- partner Gabe Thunderhawk to stop thinking about his next promotion and start working as part of a team. Being forced to operate together is tricky, though -- especially as their oil-and-water personalities become mixed with something much more volatile: desire. In this job there's no room for playing around with the laws of attraction.
