She wasn't sure what was more dangerous... criminals chasing her down to pry information from her? OR... falling in love with a U.S. marshal.

On the way to Cypress Creek, Texas to meet her intended, Louise Settelmeyer is in for a shock when her stagecoach is attacked by bandits.

When the robbery is stopped by men from the U.S. Marshals Service, Louise has no choice but to rely on the escort of a cocky and childish deputy marshal, Andy Fulton. Upon reaching town, Louise is in for yet another shock when she discovers that her intended was none other than the man robbing her stagecoach.

Deputy U.S. Marshal Andy Fulton can't leave the beautiful woman he rescued at the stagecoach station without provision. He's a man of integrity and, therefore, must do something to help - even if the woman won't laugh at his jokes and insists she's got everything under control.

Unfortunately, he's seen firsthand what happens to a woman on her own in the West and decides to intervene on Louise's behalf, helping her obtain a position at the local hotel.

Things seem to be going fine until Louise becomes a target for criminals in town and finds herself in need of rescue more than once.

The dangers don't stop there, as Louise realizes that seeing her handsome rescuer every day is putting her heart in danger of growing more attached than she'd like.

Will Andy be able to rescue Louise, yet again - and learn to risk his heart in the process? And will they uncover the truth behind why outlaws are tracking Louise down? Only time, a little good humor, and a dollop of boldness will tell. . .

Author's Note:
An Unexpected Treasure, Marrying a Marshal Book One is a PG-rated Western Romance short story of about seventy-five pages with plenty of Old West action and romance. There will be three more stories to follow this one, each of about 150 pages long, so if you like this one, and I'm sure you will, there'll be some longer books to follow!

This is also part of the Hero Hearts series which is a larger multi-author series about men who love, honor, and protect their families, all while having faith in God! Brought to you by Annie Boone, Kate Cambridge, Terri Grace, Misty Shae, Cat McGill, Hayley Wescott, and Natalie Dean! Enjoy!
