ALLURING THIEF
In the bustling town square of Cokers Grove, Kansas, a slender waif was busy picking the pockets of the unsuspecting crowd. But her nimble fingers were no match for the marshal who'd just caught her red-handed! Rather than hauling her off to jail, Sloan McDonough took pity on the disheveled scamp and brought her home -- only to discover that beneath the tattered clothes and dirt smudged face was a woman of startling beauty. Feeling duty bound to protect her, he found he couldn't fight his growing desire for this fair haired innocent whose lush body and sensuous charms enflamed his very soul...

And now, as they wandered out together beneath a starry prairie sky, she was about to discover the untold raptures that only true love could bring!
