Boone Creek (Law & Order #1)

Jessie Henry is looking for a new life. She’s unknown in the town of Boone Creek when she arrives, and wants to keep it that way. When she’s offered the job of Town Marshal, she takes it, believing that protecting others and upholding the law is the penance for her past.

Ellie Fray is a widowed, shopkeeper. She generally keeps to herself, but the mysterious new Town Marshal both intrigues and infuriates her. She believes the last thing the town needs is someone stirring up trouble with the outlaws who have taken over.
Boone Creek is the first book in the Law & Order Series.
