Jesse And The Mail Order Bride (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798354813896)

What will happen when her lawman husband learns the truth about her past?

Sheriff Jesse Cameron is dedicated to uphold the law of his adopted country. After leaving Scotland, he came to Texas, and learned he liked the place and the people-at least, most of them. He keeps Harrigan County free of troublemakers with his "strict but fair" policy. Now that he has a steady job and has bought a house, he figures it's time to find a wife and start a family. He and his best friend write to the same matchmaker, hoping their brides will be sisters or friends. Jesse hopes his wife will provide a peaceful home and welcome him each evening with a good meal and a warm smile.

Growing up in an orphanage left Rosalin Arnold too na?e to avoid being trapped in the clutches of an evil man who has her picking pockets. Those who've tried to escape him always fail, and are severely punished-or killed. Rosalin has been plotting to get away, and the threat of being moved from picking pockets to the brothel incites her to immediate action. She takes her best friend with her, and also an adorable boy of eight who is being bullied and mistreated. All she and her friends want is a home where they can live without constant fear. She prays she has successfully evaded the man who has tentacles everywhere.

What will happen when her past catches up with her? Will Jesse defend her, or will he arrest her?
