Return of the Lawman

Return of the Lawman
May 2002
Harlequin Intrigue #664
ISBN:0-373-226644-0

WANTING HIM COULDN'T BE HELPED--FALLING FOR HIM HAD TO BE

Dylan Matthews had left Winter Falls a young man rocked by tragedy; he returned a seasoned big-city cop with a dangerous case to solve and scars that were still too tender to share.

Lindsey Warner couldn't deny that she still wanted Dylan---had never stopped wanting him. But she was a woman now, a successful investigative reporter, and she hadn't come home to relive the past. No, if she was going to survive another encounter with Dylan Matthews, then she'd have to stick to getting her story and getting out...before she got in over her head.

In her debut novel, Lisa Childs will transport you to a town filled with rumors and secrets, where someone believes that the past should stay buried...  Ms. Childs keeps her readers glued to the pages with a potent combination of romance, humor and suspense. With this well-written debut, I'm looking forward to the next book by Ms. Childs. I highly recommend RETURN OF THE LAWMAN to all fans of romantic suspense!" -- Julie Shininger - Escape to Romance

"RETURN OF THE LAWMAN is a fast paced mystery that keeps the reader turning pages until the very end... There was one particularly suspenseful scene where I held my breath... A full cast of delightful characters and subplots keep the reader guessing whodunit until the very end. RETURN OF THE LAWMAN is a fine mystery set in everyone's hometown, and I am looking forward to reading more adventures from Ms. Childs." -- Diana Risso - Romance Reviews Today

"Debut author Lisa Childs pens a breathtaking romantic suspense with her fist book, RETURN OF THE LAWMAN. I found myself engrossed in the book, turning the pages quickly to discover what would happen next. Would Dylan find the killer? Would Lindsey and Dylan get together? Ms. Child's answers all the questions, and ties up all the loose ends perfectly. For an on the edge of your seat romance, pick up your copy of RETURN OF THE LAWMAN today, you won't be disappointed."
--Robin Peek - The Word on Romance
