Date: 10 1, 2013
Annalee Gallagher was traveling to Cicero Creek, Wyoming to live with her grandfather after the death of both parents; while enroute, the stagecoach is attacked and fortunately for her the sheriff of Cicero Creek was aboard and helped get her and the couple, the Maguires, to town safely. He and Annalee had a few choice words to say to each other during the attack and Annalee, fiery temper and all, helped fight off two of the would be robbers. When she arrives in town she discovers that her grandfather has been killed but that she has inherited his ranch, of course she knows nothing about how to raise cattle, tend crops, etc. but she decides to stay. The Maguires have taken her under their wing, so to speak, since she helped save their lives and because they have no children. The sheriff tends to stir her temper, especially since he has declared his intentions to the Maguires, before announcing his intentions to Annalee. A shortage of marriageable women in town leads to several men vying for Annalee's hand which in turn causes the sheriff to gnash his teeth. Annalee's temper gets the best of her with the would be suitors and even though she is attracted to the sheriff, he just rubs her fur the wrong way a lot of the time. But he is determined that she will be his.
