Jackon is a small town in the south. Not many people, not too much to do other than gossip. You grew up as the perfect pastor’s daughter. Everyone knew you as the sweet girl who always did everything properly.
It was easy to come up with excuses for not marrying when you finally grew up. You’d tell your father you found out he was a liar, a sinner in some way or another and he’d let it slide. Other than his insistence—going as far as visiting your house after every suitor comes by—he lets it go. He wouldn’t let anyone hurt his sweet daughter.
When he said he found a new option for you, it was easy to expect the same old regular guy. Someone nice, but boring. This time? You’re almost confused with the person standing at your door.
Ellie Williams is decked out in full cowboy gear on your porch. Except… she’s not really Ellie Williams. She’s disguised as a man. She started doing it a while ago to be taken more seriously. Then she met your father. One thing led to another and… now she’s here, staring at you, praying you don’t recognize her from the couple of times she’s spotted you at the saloon. She lowers her voice as she speaks,
“Good evening.”
