Cole Walker,
Sheriff of Cold Creek, has more woes than he can handle.
He thought
chasing rustlers would be the worst of his problems, until the newly arrived,
Mattie Wells, jingles his spurs with a smile, and he falls head over heels for
her.
Cole's fear of
critters comes to light when a runaway monkey named Beggar takes a liking to
him. He remembers when his pa's hound dog left teeth marks on his butt when he
was just a tyke.
But, Mattie thinks Beggar’s adorable, so what’s
a man supposed to do? Now, he’s forced to
put up with the little fur ball...uh...ringtail monkey even when the furry
thief starts stealing the townsfolk’s trinkets.
The rustlers
roaming the hills, stealing the Double J’s cattle are a mighty puzzling crew.
JJ blames the farmers and an all out war is in the making.
Trying to keep
the peace between the farmers and the cattleman, Cole and his deputies, Wade
and Sully, have their hands full. Mayor Farley gives them a month to find the
thieves before calling for outside help.
Mattie has a dark
secret and vows never to marry. While harboring a secret of his own, Cole
pushes to pry out her secret in hopes of changing her mind.
Cole chases Mattie, the rustlers, and Beggar in
a town full of fun characters and chaos.
Can he bring the rustlers to justice, peace and
order to Cold Creek, the townsfolk’s loot back to their rightful owners, and
win Mattie’s heart?
Yep. Cole has a
heap of trouble on his hands.
