Melissa Grayson is cursed with great looks, brains and a body to die for. When she arrives in Silver Wind, Colorado, to assume leadership at her father's school, she creates mayhem amongst the bachelors. Finally, the sheriff and the clergy decides that Melissa must marry or be jailed. Rejecting the local men, Melissa writes to New York for a bookish teacher, James Harold Pickney IV.
Melissa has never met him but has had correspondence with the Harvard man for more than a year. She asks him to marry her 'in name only' and he agrees. However, James is a sickly sort who is detained by illness along the way.
In the meantime, Lucky Lawrence is looking for a place to hide out. In another state, he helped a woman escape from a gambler/killer and needs to lie low. When he arrives in Silver Wind, people assume that he is Melissa's fiance' and Lucky realizes that this is a perfect solution to his problem.
I had a problem with accepting that the sheriff could decide that an innocent woman could be imprisoned for being beautiful. Once I got over that boulder, I could accept the rest of the story.
