That meant trouble was his business - and if he'd ever seen somebody in trouble, it was the town's new schoolteacher, Sarah McKenzie....She was as beautiful as a mountain meadow in springtime.

He ached to protect her, to take that look away - and make her his forever....But what could a lady like her want with a lawman with an outlaw's heart...?
