Daisies in the wind

ICE- was her shield against a cruel, callous world. FIRE was his weapon - a blazing six-gun and an unquenchable passion. FATE brought them together as the rugged lawman taught the outlaw's rebellious daughter the meaning of love... She was an ebony-haired, violet-eyed hellion, an outlaw's daughter who could ride, shoot, and fight like a man. But Rebecca Rawlings couldn't outrun her father's bloody past, not even in her elegant Boston boarding school. So she returned to Montana to hide out from the world - as a schoolteacher, reserved, forbidding, determined to keep her broken heart from ever being touched again. Sheriff Wolf Bodine was wary of women, especially the cold, beautiful Rebecca, who he was pledged to protect. But Rebecca thought she could handle her father's enemies - until a legacy of violence and an act of love made her reach out to the man who dared to risk his own life to save hers.
