An Outlaw's Christmas

An Outlaw's Christmas (McKettricks, #16)An Outlaw's Christmas by Linda Lael Miller
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A light little historical romance from Linda Lael Miller on yet another grandson of matriarch Angus McKettrick. This time Sawyer McKettrick is riding into town from the station to take over the position of town Marshall and contemplating the snow squalling around him when a gunshot enters his shoulder. Unconscious but resolutely hanging onto the saddle Sawyer soon drops from his horse into the snow that surrounds a tiny schoolhouse. Inside Piper St. James, the schoolmarm is ready to brave the storm outside to fill her meager supply of water when she trips over his body. Somehow dragging him into the warm building, Piper is now left to clean and bandage the stranger's wounds alone until the storm abets. Tongues will wag when the town harpies hear that Blue River's unmarried teacher has a man in the schoolhouse.

I usually don't read Miller's romances but I do enjoy her Christmas series - great reads for those who love her McKettrick series.
