So when the reputable town judge suggests a match between Wilde and his newly qualified magistrate grandson, Rostin Taylor, they accept. Fully expecting a fight, they're dumbfounded when Wildemina readily agrees. Truth be told, the news that Rostin is heading out West is all the information she needs—anything to get out of Independence. Her single condition is that the wedding be postponed until she's ready; she will not give herself to any man until she wants to. If that means that she and Rostin will be setting out on the trail unmarried, so be it; their reputations be damned. Rostin Taylor knows what kind of man his grandfather really is; snide, corrupt and just plain mean. He's also fully aware that the old judge decided to play matchmaker purely in order to make his grandson's life difficult by forcing him to wed 'that Weston girl'. What he doesn't expect, however, is how quickly and easily he falls for her. Under Rostin's care, guidance, and firm hand, Wilde blossoms. Even though the handsome young magistrate won't allow her to drink and gamble with the boys, he appreciates and supports the fact that she can throw knives, hunt and shoot with the best of them—and he evokes feelings in her she'd never before dared to imagine. There's also something inordinately comforting about the way he calls her his 'Mina-girl'... and the way he fulfils a role she's always craved but never had; that of a real, loving Daddy. Rostin comforts her during thunderstorms and gives her pleasure the likes of which she's never experienced before. He also doesn't hesitate to put her over his knee for a sound paddling when she disobeys him. Slowly, Wilde comes to adore the man she was assigned to marry. It's hard, but she eventually finds the strength to trust him... to be vulnerable for the first time in her life. So when Rostin disappears after a fight, she is devastated.

     Cray glared at the man of the cloth, at the sheriff and all the townspeople who were forcing him to marry the little hellcat he’d caught stealing his eggs. If he’d known she was a woman, he never would have tried to spank her. But she’d been dressed in pants and a too-big coat, and had taken her last egg from his chickens. He’d cornered her once before, but she’d lied about her name and slipped past him. Then he’d tracked her to the rundown cabin at the edge of town and he’d walloped her hard before she bit him. She must have run straight to the sheriff with yet another story. The only amusing part was that she clearly was not any more pleased with this turn of events than he was. “This is all your fault, mister,” his new bride hissed at him. He took off after her even as the townspeople, their task completed, abandoned them. He grabbed the squirming little woman and gave her the rest of that spanking she had coming. And then he fed her. She might be a liar and a thief, but she was also scared, and skinny, and hungry! And now she was his problem, one he wouldn’t walk away from, although he suspected he was going to have his hands full trying to turn her into a sweet, respectable young wife.

The feisty redhead is determined to scare him to death and send him running. Jace is startled when he hears the loud scream in the middle of the night and his gun is in his hand as he hit the floor, prepared to kill the Indians that were attacking the ranch... only, there were no Indians. He checked on his Daddy and the housekeeper and felt like a fool for over-reacting. When it happened again, he realized the source was coming from the tiny attic space in his bedroom, and he suspected that the Sommers girl everyone had been warning him about was up to mischief. He waited for Liberty to strike again, and when she did, he promised himself she was going to get the tanning of her life! Jace wasn’t prepared to learn that Liberty was a lovely young woman instead of a little girl, but her hotheaded temper earned her a good spanking, and Jace didn’t care that she was grown. He felt that a spanking was exactly was the redhead needed and was going to get!
