A New Schoolteacher. A pair of bullies and a murder investigation. Life in Chestnut, Wyoming was about to get a lot more exciting.
Clary Mae Watson wanted to see her brother’s killer brought to justice. Determined to find an eye witness to the crime, she kept butting heads with the Marshal, Lukey Boyd Haskins. Luke would rather she returned home and left the murder investigation to him, but she surprised him by taking a teaching position for the one-room school in town.
Clary Mae’s courage and strength of character would help her face the schoolroom bullies who ran off every other teacher the small town tried to hire. That same stubborn quality landed her in hot water with the Marshal, who didn’t hesitate to put her over his knee for the spanking that he always felt her brother Adam should have given her.
Luke had always thought of Clary Mae as Adam’s pesky little sister, but suddenly he realized that she was not so little any more. She had grown into a beautiful woman, someone for whom he was beginning to develop feelings. How can he keep her safe, and yet let her do her job? And will she even want to see him again, after he puts her over his knee?
