The Lawman's Agreement

Post-Civil War Mississippi
U.S. Marshal, Zack McCade, takes pride in protecting the good folks of Greenville - especially beautiful Dr. Suzanne Martindale. He doesn't always understand her need for independence, but he sure does like getting under her skin. It's not like he's looking to settle down - his job is too dangerous to risk taking a wife and family.

In an era when women aren't readily accepted in the male dominated world of medicine, Suzanne doesn't have time for courting - especially a charming Cajun rogue like Zack. When he proposes a fake betrothal to keep the matchmaking town out of their hair, she's sure it's a bad idea but can't deny her longing for a respite from the over-zealous bachelors in town.

Their ruse starts a fire in their hearts that neither expected, but will the re-emergence of Suzanne's real fiance douse the flames?
