title: Bending Toward Justice: A Love Story
author: Susan Gage
description: Susan Gage is a published poet and a lifelong writer who has raised children and cats, and at one time was able to keep a garden alive. She has an extensive background in non-profit and law firm management  and due to a full and varied life, she has also earned her keep by picking pears, currying horses, performing Shakespeare, waiting tables, singing in the Fantasticks, sorting mail, and feeding gourmet meals to groups of trekkers across the High Sierra. She was born and raised in Southern California, though she has also lived in the wilds of Brooklyn, in rural Vermont, and in the exquisite beauty of the San Francisco Bay area. Though she now makes her home with her husband in the peace of the Pacific Northwest, they may just as easily be found wandering through London, Paris, Cinque Terre, Venice, Rome, or cruising down the Rhine and planning trips to parts unknown. Bending Toward Justice is Susan's debut novel -- but there are lots of people talking in her head -- so there are certain to be more.

  **_Fall back in love with 1800s Kansas in Susan Mallery’s fan-favorite tale of
  love, loss, and redemption._**
  
  
  Justin Kincaid is the local bad-boy-turned-sheriff, and now he’s got to prove
  himself to his people and his town. When a saloon girl is murdered, it’s up to
  him to lead the investigation and to find a home for the dead woman’s young
  daughter. But what he hadn’t counted on was Megan, the only woman he’s ever
  loved, volunteering to take in the young girl…
  
  
  Megan Bartlett had all but given up on ever seeing Justin Kincaid again when
  he returned to assume the sheriff’s position. And the man who returns—the man
  with a bitter, mocking smile—is not the man she remembers. But when she
  notices how tender he is with the orphaned girl, she can’t help but see
  glimpses of the man she fell in love with, and she wonders if life has granted
  them a second chance after all…
