An English widow and a dutiful sheriff explore the frontiers of desire in this historical Western erotic short story by a USA Today–bestselling author.

When Lily Anders arrives in the dusty backcountry of Wyoming, Sheriff Tom Hale assumes she's exactly the proper English widow she appears to be. He deals with cattle thieves and wanted criminals on a daily basis; his quiet new neighbor is no concern of his . . . until he realizes she sees the indecent desire he's spent his whole life trying to deny.

Lily may be a demure, proper lady, but she's no innocent, and she misses the wickedness her late husband coaxed from her in bed. Sheriff Hale's calm authority sets her body on edge and inspires her darkest fantasies. If she can only find the courage to show him what she wants, they might both find what they truly need.
