Worried for his daughter's safety, Jennifer Baxter's father hires U.S. Deputy Marshal Jay Culhane to go to Mexico and bring her back. As Culhane 'always gets his man ... er woman' he's confident that she will be no problem to find and return to her family.

When Culhane finds Jennifer working as a schoolteacher south-of-the-border, he thinks his problems are over. However, they are just beginning. No one controls Jennifer, except Jennifer. The rest of the book is a war-of-the-minds (and war-of-words) between Jennifer and Jay.

Culhane is a 'love-e'm-and-leave-e'm' kind of guy. When Jennifer realizes that he is not going to make a commitment to any relationship with her, she sees no other out than to walk away. This is sensitively done and a book I enjoyed.
