A Better Man by Jenny Plumb

Emma wants nothing to do with any man after suffering years of abuse at her late husband’s hands. She wants to be left in peace to raise her son and work the land on her secluded farm, far away from the prying eyes of the townsfolk who don’t understand her desire to remain a widow.

George, a wounded stranger, is chased onto her property by outlaws. Emma is forced to make a snap decision: help the man or let the outlaws kill him.

When the town’s deputy finds out that the two of them spent the night together, marriage is the only acceptable option…
