Mistaken Marshal: A Christian Western Romance Novella - Paperback

by Crystal L. Barnes (Author)

Texas, 1875.

First day in town, Beau Bones accidentally interrupts a robbery, nabbing one of the outlaws. Before he can blink, the folks of Small Tree, Texas have appointed him as town marshal and set him over securing their new prisoner and nabbing the rest of the gang. With an inherited revolver at his side and a soul thirsty for change, Beau accepts the challenge, anxious to prove their faith in him isn't misplaced. Only what if their outlaw isn't what, or who, they think?

Jodie "Jo" Ross can hardly remember her life before her God-fearing parents died and her much-older brother put a gun in her hand, teaching her to stay one step ahead of the law. That's why her sudden arrest leaves her spinning... or maybe it's the new marshal's handsome face that makes her world spin and fills her head with crazy dreams of white picket fences and bouncing babies. Could someone like him ever care for a prodigal gal like her?

As they await Jodie's day in court, truths come to light, loyalties are tested, and attractions are fought. Will Beau be able to win Jodie a second chance without losing the town's faith in him, or will everyone realize the mistake they made in making him marshal?
