With her explosive revelations certain to rock the town, Elise didn’t expect to be welcomed home with open arms. Certainly not by the cowboy with the badge who once meant everything to her. But after being run off the road and shot at, she has no choice but to trust him. Even more dangerous is the desire that’s reigniting, making Elise yearn for something she may not live to see.

Summary
Overall The Deputy’s Redemption is the fifth book in the Sweetwater Ranch series. Each book has a standalone story and a continuing story of who killed Mrs McKinnon’s lover. In The Deputy’s Redemption we have Colt and Elise’s story. Elise is back in town, 14 years later and is a key witness for the defense of Colt’s mother in the trial. Colt is a local Deputy and the story opens with him finding Elise running for her life in a snow storm. She thinks he is trying to kill her. However she soon changes her mind and they start fighting their attraction for each other. I had several favorite lines and scenes in this book. One of them is after their kiss she says it won’t happen again. “It’ll happen again” he argued. Colt and Elise have great chemistry. Colt tries to protect Elise as someone is trying to kill her. There are plenty of suspects to keep you guessing and the suspense of who killed McKinnon’s lover is escalating.
Violence someone is trying to kill her.
