Clean and wholesome novelette.

Creed Connor felt like the luckiest man alive after marrying his mail order bride, Rebecca. On their way to his ranch, they passed Spike Bender's place and Spike was beating his daughter, Jessie. Rebecca insisted he stop and help. She ran headlong into the fray to protect the girl, and he joined in to protect his wife.

Rebecca wasn't one to sit back and watch a man hurt his kids. They took Jessie home with them and her little brother and sister. She was sure Spike would cause trouble, but she wouldn't let anyone harm the children no matter what she had to do. She just hoped Creed wasn't disappointed that their wedding day hadn't turned out like they planned.
