Of War And Desire

Ten years had passed since the wife of Sheriff Wes Kincaid had been murdered by a vengeful, former prisoner. Some villagers of Riverton, Georgia couldn't fathom whey the handsome, wealthy lawman hadn't remarried--especially with that girl of his running wild...No one knew of the personal demons that plagued the man.

Now, facing his third term in office, Wes at last had a formidable opponent, an old enemy, determined to bring him down.

Wes wasn't dependent upon county income for survival. He had inherited a cotton plantation sprawled over some eight miles along the river, but a gentleman planter he was not.

The peace of this land of magnolias was shattered by South American drug lords who began rushing plane-loads of contraband into a remote, private landing strip. Wes' discovery of this found him begging county commissioners for more men and equipment. They laughed in disbelief. Drugs in their hallowed land? Impossible!

Enter the beautiful red-haired Rachel-no stranger to grief herself-to head the local newspaper. She and Wes were immediately attracted to each other and began a passionate love affair. Together, they battled the foes that threatened to destroy them and Wes' birthright.
