There was trouble in Haven, Arizona, and Ranger Sam O'Ballivan was determined to sort it all out. Badge and gun hidden, he arrived posing as the new schoolteacher, and his first order of business was to bring the rough ranchers' children under control. To that end, he called on Maddie Chancelor, the local postmistress, whose younger brother was in firm need of discipline.
Sam wasn't sure what to expect - but it was definitely not this graceful woman whose prim, proper stance was so at odds with the fire in her eyes. Working undercover to capture a dangerous band of rustlers and train robbers was a job that had always kept him apart from other people. He was a man with his heart firmly in check - until Maddie. Now she was unwittingly tempting him down a path he swore he'd never travel.

"I love western books but I can't read them if they don't have some romance in it. I do love this book but I wish there was more romantic stuff throughout the book rather than the end. the last chapters were so full of events and shock loved that! but I do like other two more than I do this one." — Ashley (4 out of 5 stars)

" Good story, I really liked the plot twists and I loved that I could not figure out who the leader of the gang was! I was shocked. "
" I read this after reading A Wanted Man, which is the second in the series. I liked A Wanted Man better. Sam O'Ballivan just wasn't the type of hero I'm drawn to. It wasn't a bad story, though, and I enjoyed the supporting characters. "
