Katherine Slade's needs are simple; find the family of the man who saved her life, and leave her lawless husband in her past. But pretending to be a mail order bride was never part of her plan! Especially when that plan forces her to become Sheriff Connor Langston's housekeeper to stay out of jail. Keeping up the deception is difficult, but even more challenging is battling her tender feelings towards the handsome lawman. A wife is the last thing Connor needs, even if the rest of Fatal Bluff is all too eager to see him married off. With a band of outlaws threatening the safety of Fatal Bluff, and a child to care for, he has enough on his plate. But as he watches Little Jenny respond to Kate, he can't deny the pull of his own heartstrings. If only he could shake the growing doubt that his new housekeeper is not who she claims to be. When Connor discovers the truth about Kate, will this outlaw bride stand a chance at becoming the sheriff's wife? Or will her hope for a new life be lost forever?
