Aaron McBain is the towns Sheriff. After being shot in the chest by a bank robber, he awakens in the hospital. He swears his nurse, Anna Whitfield, looks like the angels from his Sunday school lessons from when he was a child.
McBain believes he has seen Anna somewhere before but can't remember where. He hires her to be his private nurse after he is released from the hospital. It doesn't take him long before he figures out where he's seen her before. A wanted poster. Her real name is Susannah Carvel and she is wanted in connection to the murder of her husband. A U.S. Senator.
The only way McBain can figure out how to prove Susannah is being framed for the murder of her husband is to marry her, giving him more time to prove her innocent. It doesn't take long though before someone is out to stop Susannah from telling what she knows. McBain will have to move heaven and earth to protect the woman he loves.

If you like fluffy romances with predictable plots then you will enjoy this one. Fast read but I think that was mainly because the font was larger than normal. If you enjoy historical novels that a accurate you really should avoid this book. ( )

WHY do all the romance novels have WEAK women in them. This one has by far been the worst of them all and was about as much as I could stand. Its a historical romance, set in 1878. I really like that part of the book. The author did well to keep the romance parts the way they would have been and the lingo the same. BUT this main character would not stop crying! Sheesh! She started out as a strong woman, and her personality crumbled all of the sudden into this blubbering BABY! Most of the time the Male character keeping her in check. She would cry, pout and make a fool of herself and then her lover would keep her in check by pointing out her mistakes.
gagg.. oh well ( )
