Little did he know that his path would cross with Ellie Andrews again, only to reopen the wound he was trying to heal. Cassadee Hampton, came home for her pa's funeral. Teddy Hampton was the fromer marshal of Sugar Creek. He had never mentioned that he had a daughter, so Will was surprised when she showed up for his funeral. She had been hiding a secret for ten years. Will tried to befriend her, only to have his kindness thrown back in his face. Will had several dangerous encounters with criminals while trying to arrest them. He was lucky that he was still alive. He knew that God's hand of protection was on him.
