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.
