He'll leave town when he's good and ready...and when the pretty and proper young schoolmarm consents to be his bride.

A Bad Man's Desire

At first glance, the lovely Easterner Anthea Bright seems woefully unsuited for her position as the new schoolmarm in Haven, Kansas. But behind that fine finishing school polish is a fiery spirit and a determination to succeed. Gabriel Jackson, however, is a different kind of challenge. The intensely passionate, devastatingly sexy man is Haven's most disreputable citizen -- and he's put Anthea's level head and her heart in a furious spin. How can theprim, pretty newcomer hope to stand firm to her principles when she feels breathless whenever Gabriel's near? And though a small voice inside tells her the "bad man's" not nearly as bad as his reputation would suggest, does she dare surrender to this dangerous stranger who is bound and determined to make Anthea his bride?

      Forced by lack of money to earn her own living, gently bred Anthea Bright optimistically leaves Philadelphia and heads for Haven, TX, to run the local school. Unfortunately, despite her cheery letters to her sisters, the situation is appalling physically, educationally, and socially. Then Gabriel Jackson, the most infamous "bad man" in town, bursts into her classroom, and suddenly things become a lot more interesting and a lot more perilous. A dangerously appealing hero, an intrepid, determined heroine, and a child you want to hug drive the plot of this well-written Western romance that, although charming and lighthearted on the surface, also has its darker side, addressing the issues of jealousy, prejudice, self-esteem, and social-class bias with sensitivity and skill. This is the first volume in the "Marrying Miss Bright" series. Law is an award-winning writer and author of a number of "Historical Americana" romances (e.g., The Most Wanted Bachelor); she lives in Hopkins, MN.
