When California Dalton arrives at the home of her new employer, she steps across the threshold into utter chaos. Callie's fantasy of tutoring a sweet little girl vanishes as she meets the young woman the citizens of Sundance, Nevada consider insane. Pride keeps Callie from high-tailing it home. She builds a unique friendship with her extraordinary pupil. In the process, she gains respect from the people of Sundance...and discovers love with the girl's darkly handsome brother. Marshal Trevor Jacobs disapproves of his sister?s tutor from the moment he claps eyes on her. He expected a matronly woman, not a delicate young beauty. She won't be able to handle Bethany's frightening episodes, and her presence will only serve to remind him that he can never marry. If he succumbs to the temptation of a relationship with Callie, it could jeopardize everything.
