An Outlaw's Christmas

An Outlaw's Christmas (McKettricks, #16)

Schoolteacher Piper St. James has been dreaming of love and marriage!  But here in Blue River, Texas she has run out of options and is thinking of returning home. 

Sawyer McKettrick finds himself heading to Blue River, Texas to take over as town Marshal. His cousin Clay McKettrick is now a married man with a family and is more than willing to reliquish the job to Sawyer.  As Sawyer nears the town of Blue River, shots are fired and Sawyer finds himself badly wounded.

Piper St. James is trying to keep warm inside the schoolhouse during the storm, but she is low on well water and firewood and must go outside to replenish her supply. Once she makes it outside, she see's a horse in the snowstorm, but as Piper approaches, she literally stumbles on something. There is a wounded man laying in the snow and he is bleeding. Piper knows she must help the man and bring him inside to care for his wounds, but what if he is an outlaw? He certainly looks like an outlaw, a very handsome one at that!  Piper decides she can't leave the poor man out in the snow to die, so she drags him into the school house.

Eventually the townsfolk learn that Piper has a man in the schoolhouse and her reputation is put into question. Only Clay McKettrick and the town doctor know the real reason why Sawyer is there.  Nevertheless, Piper's reputation is ruined and she must now make a decision that will affect the rest of her life!
