Beyond Betrayal (Legendary Lovers)

the long version

Samson Towers was on the run from the law when a dying man gave him the chance for a new life. Disguised as the law, a tin star his only protection, Samson traveled to Red Rock, Montana. There he found that for all his Herculean strength and quiet, one woman could knock down the pillars of his deception and win his heart--a temptress named Delilah. With her glossy balck tresses and brilliant blue eyes, the widow Delilah Sterne drew many a male admirer's hungry gaze. Now, dealing poker in Red Rock, the beautiful gambler found herself drawn to the town's sheriff. But suddenly, Delilah feared she'd played the wrong cards--and sentenced the man she loved to death. With her heart in danger, she knew that she must save the handsome Samson and prove that their love could exist beyond betrayal.
