Tess and the Marshal

di Abby Whitehead (Autore)

Styli-books, 2026

Tess Calloran has four dollars and forty cents, a borrowed name and a black mourning dress she sewed herself. She was a lady's maid in a New York mansion until the son of the house accused her of stealing his mother's emeralds, the morning after she refused him. Her only way out is a matrimonial agency in Wyoming Territory and a marshal who wants a wife. She steps off the stage as Miss Murray, a widow who isn't one, and sets her terms on the back of an envelope: separate rooms, and no questions about the past. Marshal Jack Rourke has kept every oath he ever swore. He gives her two rooms behind the jail, a new bolt on the inside of her door and his word not to pry. He doesn't expect her to mend his coat, set his broken shoulder and shave him when his arm is in a sling. Then a reward notice turns up in the Cheyenne mail with her real name on it, and he has two promises that cannot both be kept: one to the law and one to the woman on the other side of his wall. A tall man in a gray overcoat is already in town. He is polite, patient and paid by the day. Tess and the Marshal is a slow-burn western romance with a marriage of convenience, a heroine who refuses to be beaten, a lawman who has to learn what honesty costs, and a happy ending. It is book two of the standalone Juniper Ridge Mail-Order Brides series.
