The ladies had placed an ad looking for men to work the mill and possibly be husbands for them. Twenty Four men had showed up. After a brawl they were down to 14.

Tall Dark and Determined

Lacy Lyman is one of the four ladies. Her brother Braden was the only survivor of the cave in and is crippled. His fiancee is one of the four
ladies.
Creed, who has been looking after the ladies, has captured Corbin Twyler. Corbin had killed Creed’s brother at a gambling table and Creed is taking him back for trial. He asks Chase to watch after the ladies till he gets back.
Chase has a big dog with him and the two of them take on the job but it turns out to be a lot to handle.
Chase and Lacy have lots of disagreements as he searches for information about the cave in.
I enjoyed this book and recommend it to others.
