DEFFINITELY A KEEPER - DEVLIN BROTHERS Series

Sam Houston Devlin, 25, is looking for a little rest and relaxation after the cattle drive from Texas to Abilene. Enter Wyatt Earp and his "dare" to "Devil" [after D. losing 10,000 in a card game]- spend the night with Mercedes LaFleche and for free. The misunderstanding begins when 18 year old Mercy Fairweather comes searching for her silly sister, Charity. And expecially trouble begins when Sam helps Mercy rescue Charity from Tom Culhane. Tom is a trouble maker and wants his revenge on Sam and Charity. Sam is determined to marry Mercy when he finds out that she is not who he thinks she is. "Devil's Boys" turn out to be of great help especially, Jase Lowry, Cookie Yates and Manuel Lopez. Sam convinces Deacon Paxton to marry them, yet there is something intrigueing about Deacon. Sam should know him? Ah then, Sam makes the mistake of taking his money out of the safe when he goes to pick up Mercy and stops in the stable to see to his horse, Buck. Yup! he gets shot! Twice! Sam has lost the money and now probably his life. Preacher Fairweather wants Sam to disappear, any way possible short of killing. A Texan cowboy was not good enough for his daughter. Mercy is hot under the collar to think that Sam would just up and leave her. She had plans on going home to Texas and now she does not even get her wedding night. One thing leads to another and she disappears and her father finally breaks down at the thought of never seeing his daughter again. Then Charity opens her big mouth to the wrong people. Mercedes LaFleche aids Fairweather along with Deacon in getting up a posse to find Charity who has now been kidnapped. What a come-down for the preacher. Suddenly Deacon is anxious to talk to Sam. Sam asks Deacon about the black stallion, Goliad, that belonged to his brother, Caleb, who died in the war three years ago. Look for Caleb Devlin's story in LAWMAN, next! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - definitely a keeper - Sam, Caleb and Garrett Devlin and sister Anne, a widow
