Returning to the family farm to nurse a broken leg, June March expects nothing more than to let her parents pamper her. Then her brother-in-law robs a bank and is killed shortly afterward. Her sister, April, is suspected of the murder and despite the fact that she is on crutches, June feels compelled to help find the real killer.

June’s schoolmate and life long nemesis, Wallace Striker is now sheriff of the county. June thinks she’ll find he’s the same bumbling boy he was in school. But as she works with him on the case, she not only finds him good at this job, but to her surprise, she begins to feel physically attracted to the six-foot-two handsome hunk he’s turned into.
