title: The Marshall's Lady
author: Hall, Patty Smith
description: A Lady on the Run
  After her brother dies protecting her honor, Cynthia Gowan runs halfway around the world to Stoney Creek, Wyoming, hoping to build a new life far from her home in York. But her tea room--her only means of making a living--may never open, not if U.S. Marshall Reed Chaffee has any say about it.
  A Marshall on a Mission
  U.S. Marshall Reed Chaffee has a job to do--close down the notorious bar where the territory's most violent criminals found a haven. He never expected to find a lady like Cynthia Gowan there, nor does he believe her claims that she plans to turn it into a tea room. Cindy and Reed agree to work together catching the bar's lawless patrons while opening the tea room, neither expect the tender feelings that blossom between them.
