His to Protect

Evelyn Carrington comes home from years abroad and arrives in time to see her family killed. The person behind it is the eldest Lawson daughter, who says openly that she has come from another world and knows how everything is supposed to go, and who intends to kill every woman of the Carrington line before it can happen. Evelyn has no standing and no protection, so she works out a way to reach Marshal Peyton Bennett and attaches herself to him, planning to use his name and his soldiers to get at the Lawsons. Bennett sees through it at once. He also recognizes her, because she is the girl who saved his life when they were children, and he decides to let her use him and says nothing about knowing why she is there. Working from inside his household, Evelyn gathers what she needs to show the Lawson daughter for what she is, and goes after the people who killed her family. What began as a calculation on her side turns into something real between her and Bennett.
