Lawfully Wanted (The Lawkeepers) by Jenna Brandt

So once in awhile a new book catches my eye and I decide to pick up a new to me writer and try something different.  

Book Description: Levi Emerson and his partner, Clyde Forester, have been undercover for over a year chasing the ring leader of the largest cattle rustling group. After months of pursuit, they are closing in on their target, and looking forward to bagging their bounty. A paid informant has told them the the rustler's next target will be the Larsen Ranch in Rockwood Springs, Texas. When Levi arrives at the ranch, he poses as a cowboy in order to gain employment at the ranch and catch the cattle thief. 

Abigail Larsen is the daughter of one of the largest cattle barons in all of Taylor, County Texas. She has just returned home from finishing school, and her father has plans for her to marry Andy Wilson, a local rancher and recent widower, in an attempt to expand the family's influence in the region. Though she wants to do her father's biding, the rumors of how Andy mistreated his first wife leaves Abigail worried about her future. 

When Levi and Abigail accidently encounter each other on the ranch, the connection is instant, but they both know a relationship between them can never be due to their circumstances. Yet, as the couple continue to spend time together through various circumstances, the connection only deepens. 

Will Levi catch his wanted thief and collect his bounty? Will he tell Abigail the truth about who he is? And will Abigail choose to go against her father in order to be with the man she wants? Find out if these two star-crossed lovers can find a way to be together in this epic 1880s historical romance.

This was a nice quick and easy read.  Abagail has been in Boston at school and when she returns is pushed into a marriage.  I felt sorry for Abagail and was cheering her on throughout the story as she looks to God's plan in her life.  

Levi was a great character as well and he becomes drawn to Abigail.  Both share a strong faith and the tie that brings them together.  It was a well written love story and I truly enjoyed it.  

Will Levi and Abagail be able to overcome the barriers surrounding them?  Will Abagail be able to forgive Levi when she finds out he deceived her or will she be stuck in an arranged marriage?  Pick up your copy of Lawfully Wanted and find out!  Happy Reading!
