Boston born and raised Kristen Marsh is on the run.  Hoping for financial gain, her father has arranged for her to marry one of his business partners.  Unwilling to marry a man she doesn't love, Kristen Marsh hops on a stagecoach and heads west to Brown Point- a small, dusty town in Wyoming, where she plans to take employment as the town's schoolteacher.Meanwhile, Jack Sterling is a man on a mission.  He is angered to discover that Randall Brown, the bank owner in Brown's Point, has stolen the deed to his grandmother's farm in Kansas.  Determined to get the deed back, Jack makes his way to Brown's Point to confront the two-faced banker.While in town, Jack keeps on bumping into the lovely Miss Kristen Marsh.  But Jack knows he can't get entangled with a woman while he's trying to deal with the law.  And something is telling him that Kristen Marsh has some secrets of her own.  And he knows that he's not the only man with an interest in Kristen.  How can Jack compete with the Eastern born grandson of a preacher?  But mutual attraction just can't keep the two apart.This story was fun, cute, and a pleasure to read. You instantly fall in love with characters, readily identifying with them and their struggles.  And the attraction between Jack and Kristen is so strong you can cut it with a knife.  The humor and sarcasm between them is light and uplifting.  Sometimes it can be hard for an author to express humor in a way that is readily understood, but Sarita Leone does an excellent job.  You feel like you're right there with the characters, can see the smiles spread across their faces, feel the laughter rumbling in their chests.  This was a very enjoyable novel and I was able to read it in a couple of days.  I will be definitely be looking for more from this author.
