The Bounty Hunter and the Shopkeeper

By T.B. Meldrum

Young Miss Purdy had enough to do running the mercantile and restaurant she just inherited, she did not want to own the saloon also. That was to belong to Joshua Jones, the nephew of the deceased previous owner, his aunt, and also the woman who adapted Miss Purdy as an infant. At first, he did not want ownership of the saloon, his career as a notorious bounty hunter was satisfying and financially rewarding. Why tie himself down in one place. Except it was not appropriate for a young woman to own a saloon, and that was the only alternative according to the will if he declined ownership. But, that was not his concern, was it? Miss Purdy had no intention to fall in love with the bounty hunter, but she had never met anyone like him. If she told him her secret he would hate her, but he was the only one in town that did not know, making it a frustrating mystery to him. Something ignited unfamiliar emotions in him when he met the dazzling Miss Purdy. Love struck like lightening, until his bigotries and her secret split them apart. Was it possible for him to overcome the prejudices coming between them, or does the bounty hunter resume his nomad career, leaving Miss Purdy and the saloon behind?
