Heiress Declares Gun-Toting Southern Gentleman Mannerless in Bittersweet Promises, by Trana Mae Simmons. February 13, 1866, Liberty, Missouri and Missouri Ozarks. Cody Garret likes everything in its place: his horse in the corral, his six-gun in his holster, and his money in the bank. There's no way on earth he can tolerate a woman like Shanna Van Alstyne. With a spirit as fiery as the blazing sun, she has a temper to match. Unfortunately, southern manners dictate he save her life, but then she's on her own--until a daring robbery throws the infuriating woman back into his arms, again.
