title: Cecilia
author: Dean, Natalie
description: Sheriff Lance isn't the kind of man Cecilia wants to be with. So why can't she stop thinking about him...
  Cecilia has her whole life ahead of her. She refuses to be a pawn in her father's business ventures, especially if it means being married off to a dirty old man. Cecilia has a mind of her own and has decided to become a mail order bride. She finds true love on the American Frontier, only to become widowed soon after. However, she's a woman of strength, and her fierce independent streak enables her to make it on her own as the successful owner of the tea shop in town. She's doing just fine without a man. Or so she tells herself...
  Then Sheriff Lance shows up. He thinks Cecilia is beautiful but too independent for his liking. Even if it is attractive the way she outwits the bad guys. Sheriff Lance rubs Cecilia the wrong way with all his chauvinist talk about "a woman's place." She hates to admit, he both intrigues her and frustrates her all at the same time. Who does he think he is -  coming to her town thinking he has her all figured out?
  A little murder mystery just might be the thing to throw these two opposites together. Can Cecilia help Sheriff Lance solve this mystery and keep the wrong man out of jail? And will they get past their bad first impressions of each other and fall in love?
