Grace Benson is saved from a physical attack by the local Methodist minister, Simon Grafton. Because the attacker was a farm hand on her uncle's ranch (and Grace's uncle was encouraging a marriage between his niece and the hand), Simon decides to take her to his home for safe-keeping.
In less than 20 pages, Simon is trying to convince Grace to marry him. I thought that was a bit fast. Although Simon had a housekeeper who could act as chaperone, Simon was worried about his congregation's view of two unmarried young people in the same home.
The farm hand had a problem with accepting that Grace was married. Grace's uncle did not believe there was an attack and he was still encouraging his niece to marry the cowboy. Angered by Grace's lack of interest in him, the cowboy decided to capture or kill her.
The rest of the story was about the law's efforts to capture the cowboy (he'd gravely beaten one of the town's prostitutes) as well as keep Grace out of the cowboy's clutches. I finished the book but it was very bland. The most interesting character was the villain. There simply wasn't enough going on in the story to keep a reader's interest.
