Dell October 1, 1993 Paperback used: very good
Patricia "Patch" Kendrick arrives in Oak County, Tex., from Fort Benton, Mo nt., to claim Ethan Hawk, a man who jokingly promised to marry her eight ye ars earlier when he was a 25-year-old running from the law and she was the precocious 12-year-old daughter of a man who befriended him. Patch has tran sformed herself from a tomboy into a well-bred woman, but Ethan's position remains largely unchanged. Though he was eventually caught and jailed for m urder, he has been stalked since his release by the father of a woman he al legedly raped. Ethan swears he found Merielle after the rape and that he ki lled in self-defense. Merielle can't shed light on those events because sin ce the trauma she has had the mind of a child. Ethan pretends he's not in l ove with Patch as she attempts to clear his name in a manner that demonstra tes that under the veneer of high society remains a core of will and assert iveness. But that spirit is contradicted when she says things like "You'd n ever rape a woman, Ethan . . . You wouldn't have to." Unfortunately, Johnst on's ( Kid Calhoun ) efforts at generating suspense prove futile since the plot is predictable and the true criminal is obvious early on.

Exasperated by these apparently insoluble p roblems, the town's ladies--prompted by the schoolteacher, Eden Devlin--ado pt a scheme from the ancient Greek play Lysistrata: until the men abandon t he hostilities, the women will abandon their husbands' beds. The ranchers b ring in hired gun Burke Kerrigan to nab the rustlers. Irked by their wives' blackmail, they offer Burke an additional thousand dollars to seduce the m eddling Miss Devlin. Burke's investigations ultimately reveal that appearan ces can deceive: a handful of Sweetwater's inhabitants aren't quite what th ey seem. Burke turns out to be more of a gentleman than he himself suspecte d, and Eden isn't nearly as starchy as she lets on.
