Corsets and Cuffs
by Shanna Hatfield
Series: Baker City Brides, #3
Genre: Sweet Historical Western Romance
Release Date: May 12, 2016
Sheriff Tully Barrett never knew trouble had such a pretty face. Brianna Dumont never knew the law could be so handsome and hardheaded.
Pampered and privileged, Brianna Dumont escapes the life she’s always known in an effort to clear her father’s good name. She arrives in Baker City, Oregon, intent on selling her father’s shares in a mine. Only the mine is a bust, her father’s partner is a crusty ol’ coot who hates women, and the sheriff in town is determined to keep her behind bars.
With good friends around him, a small ranch of his own, and a fulfilling job as sheriff, Tully Barrett loves his life. Then an exasperating woman shows up, making demands and driving him crazy. No matter how hard he tries to ignore her brains and beauty, she works her way under his skin.
Corsets and Cuffs captures the fun-loving banter of two strong-willed characters determined not to fall in love in this sweet historical romance.

“To what do I owe the displeasure of this visit, Miss Dumont?” Tully spied the newspaper in her hand and smirked. “Or should I refer to you as Fred?”
“You intolerable, presumptuous, supercilious cretin! How dare you!” Brianna shook the newspaper in Tully’s face. “Not only is the information in this article incorrect, it is slanderous.”
“I believe you’re the one who said it isn’t slander if it’s true.” Tully grinned at her, driving her past the boiling point.
“My name is not Fred. That’s not even close. Had you asked nicely instead of demanding, I would have given it to you in the first place. To clarify, someone stole my bag even though you doubt the truth of it. It is a matter of great importance it be returned. Furthermore, one of the many crooks who reside in this… this… depraved community stole my only pair of shoes!”
“Well…” Tully took a step back and studied her from the tip of the blue plume on her hat to the toes of her new boots barely visible beneath the hem of her exquisite gown. “You must have made it through a whole day without losing any more clothes because it looks like you’ve got your corset, petticoats, and bloomers on today. Maybe I better investigate, just to confirm the fact.” He bent down and started to lift the hem of her skirt.
Outraged, she smacked him across the back with the newspaper. “You are despicable and disgusting.”
When she raised the newspaper to smack him again, Tully grabbed her wrist and fastened an iron cuff around it. Before she could pull away, he latched a cuff onto the other one and turned her around.
“You’re under arrest. Again.”
