Pike's Run, Texas, 1875Strong-willed and independent, Alice Parker is certain she's meant to be a school teacher. She accepts her first position in Pike's Run, ready to mold the minds of young children, but unprepared to deal with her attraction to Sheriff Conner Lonnigan. If the board finds out she's tumbled into his embrace more than once, she would be fired. Sheriff Conner Lonnigan is awed by Alice Parker. He falls for her almost immediately, but the demands at home forbid him from marrying. Conner's duties as sheriff control his days, and his mother's panic attacks control his nights. He doesn't have the freedom to devote himself to Alice, but that can't stop him from pursuing her anyway. Alice and Conner fight their love for each other, but the wants of the heart become too much to ignore. As they battle the demands of their jobs, the couple finds that ultimate fulfillment can only be found in each other's arms.
