Defending the Rancher's Daughter/The Rancher Bodyguard by Carla Cassidy

Defending The Rancher's Daughter

She was lucky to be alive after nearly being trampled to death by a stampeding cattle herd. Now Kate Sampson had to be on her guard every second. Professional bodyguard Zack West offered protection...and something a lot more dangerous. The sensual cowboy had branded her with his passion and now he was back, ready to break her heart all over again.

The wild tomboy had grown into an alluring woman who needed him whether she liked it or not. Whoever had murdered her father was coming after Kate, and Zack wasn't about to lose her again. Not with everything he cherished suddenly at stake...

The Rancher Bodyguard

Fiercely independent, determined, driven and...betrayed. Grace Covington vowed never again to lay eyes on the arrogant, hotshot defence attorney who'd broken her heart. But everything changed when her stepfather was murdered and her sister was found holding the bloody knife. Charlie Black was the only one who could help.

Accepting the case would shatter the simple life Charlie had established after taking charge of the family ranch in Cotter Creek, but he couldn't deny Grace's pleas. Discovering who was bent on destroying the Covington clan might be the only way to prove he was a changed man capable of protecting her - body and soul.
