Overview

Will James be able to keep Sarah safe from those who would see her harmed ? Sarah Johnson was beginning a new life. She arrived in Brookdale, with the promise of marriage to the local Sheriff all the while desperately hoping that no one, especially her fiance, would discover who she truly was. She was born Sarah Clayborn. The daughter of an alcoholic and outlaw who ran a safe house in Oklahoma for the infamous Mackenzie gang. When Sarah's father promised her in marriage to the gang's violent leader, Bruce Mackenzie, Sarah knew she had to get out. That was what had inspired her to answer James Rhodes' request for correspondence in the brochure. That was also her reason for agreeing to marry the man after only five letters.
