Pastor Anthony Bennington is known for being wise, kind, and patient. But even his patience has its limits. Dorothy "Dottie" Bluebell is the only woman in a band of thieves. When she is caught trespassing on church property, Anthony is more than willing to deal with the little thief.

Dottie refuses to let a no-nonsense pastor control her life, even if he is blackmailing her. Can the two of them find a common ground or will their differences be too much?

Publisher's Note: This historical romance contains steamy love scenes and a theme of power exchange. Book five in The Benningtons series, it can be read as a standalone but will be enjoyed as the next installment also.
