content: If you can get past the fact that Annie was first the mistress of Lucas' brother James and then fell for him (Lucas), then you are golden. Annie running from the law after killing James is being pursued by Lucas, James' brother who is also a Marshall. He catches up with her in a small town where many have secrets but who seem to accept Annie as one of their own (well most of them anyway), even after they learn her painful secrets. James sets up a jail in the town to await the end of the snow and keeps her his prisoner. Much to his dismay he finds himself wildly attracted to this brother killer. It's a great story with a great ending. At first I didn't think there was any way this young lady was going to be able to explain what happened and still be innocent but that's probably why I'm not the writer... A must read for anyone who likes Marshalls in small towns and the woman they try to protect.
