Brides Of Durango: Tessa

Description for BRIDES OF DURANGO:  TESSA by Bobbi Smith:

THE ANGEL
Some called her an angel, marshal Jared Trent regarded her as trouble with a capital T. Tessa Sinclair owned the local boarding house where she not only took care of her guests, but every unfortunate she came across. Brimming with compassion, Tessa was so busy rescuing other people she didn't notice the dangers she continually faced--but Jared did. In fact, he noted every move the willful beauty made. The most daring of all being the position she took up in his heart.

THE MARSHAL
Tessa prided herself on seeing the best in everyone, but Jared Trent's determination to curtail her activities sorely tested her patience. As handsome as he was infuriating, Jared unearthed feelings Tessa had never experienced before. And as he helped extract her from one perilous situation after another, she realized she wouldn't mind getting caught in some close encounters with the dashing lawman himself--little dreaming he would unveil the love of a lifetime.
