“Deadwood is such a rough and tumble town.” Aunt Liv’s words again resurfaced. “You shouldn’t be taking this trip alone. It’s no place for someone as young and pretty as you.” Amy almost laughs as she remembers. Young? Pretty? The words of the girls in school still sting as she hears them. “She’s plain. She’ll never find a man.” But that was then. And now? She’s past her twenty-second birthday, and she’s given up on being a wife and a mother for good. Andrew Reese, however sees things differently. What is a beautiful little creature like Amy Bennett doing in a place like Deadwood? He knows what happens to innocent young women who end up here. And he’s determined it won’t happen to her. Publisher’s note: This novella was previously published as part of the Anthology entitled Lost and Found in Deadwood, in April of 2023.
