#1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller presents the
Stone Creek story that started it all...
When trouble strikes in Haven, Arizona, Ranger Sam O'Ballivan is
determined to sort it out. Badge and gun hidden, he arrives posing as
the new schoolteacher, and discovers his first task: bringing the
ranchers' children under control. So he starts with a call on Maddie
Chancelor, the local postmistress and older sister of a boy in need of
discipline.
But far from the spinster Sam expects, Maddie turns out to be a graceful
woman whose prim and proper demeanor is belied by the fire in her eyes.
Working undercover to capture rustlers and train robbers has always kept
Sam isolated and his heart firmly in check--until now. But something
about the spirited postmistress tempts him to start down a path he swore
he'd never travel....
