Anna, The Lawman's Problem - Paperback

by Linda Sealy Knowles (Author)

Standing in front of Anna Moore was the biggest decision of her life. The future diverged into two forks-would she make the right choice? To be the wife of a lawman or return to the Little Sisters Convent to be a faithful servant to God for the rest of her young life?

At the young age of ten, her uncle dropped her off at the Little Sisters Convent with the promise that as soon as he got settled, he would send for her. After ten years, he finally kept his promise, sending her money to travel to Livingston, Texas, to live with him. Once Anna arrived, dressed in Nun's clothing, she was greeted by the handsome, Matt Jenkins, sheriff of the town.

Matt Jenkins, a young handsome man had been the lawman of Livingston for several years after an unhappy retreat from his parents' farm in Portland, Texas. After greeting the lovely nun from Whitmire, Texas, he had the unfortunate duty of telling her that her missing uncle was a wanted man, but he would be glad to take her to her uncle's little house at the edge of town.

When Anna removed her wimple, slowly shaking her head back and forth to let her long raven hair fall below her waist, Sheriff Jenkins was spellbound by the nun's beauty. He always thought that nuns were bald under their headpieces. His knees went weak, and his heart nearly beat out of his chest. In a moment, he fell head over heels for this lovely little lady.

Would more bad news about her Uncle Claude Moore keep this young couple apart? Sheriff Jenkins was determined not to let that happen.
