β Scribed by Ihle, Sharon
No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
When he awoke by the side of the road, with a throbbing head and a lovely woman bending over him, he couldnΠ²Πβ’t even remember his own name. Morgan Slater, U.S. Marshal, simply accepts pretty Mariah PennyΠ²Πβ’s word that he is her cousin, Cain Law. And that he is part of the family's medicine show.
Mariah has good reason for misleading Morgan. The hard-headed lawman is hell-bent on shutting down her legitimate business.
Soon Cain is running afoul of the law he's sworn to protect, and Mariah is caught in her own trap as cousinly banter turns into forbidden passion.

If there's one thing US Marshall Morgan Slater can't stand, it's medicine shows.

However, when they got stuck in the mud...Mariah Penny took great pride in her medicines. Made from natural ingredients, she made certain her potions worked in most cases before she offered them to the public.

That was until Marshall Morgan Slater ran them out of town and their wagon got stuck in the mud...So, the wagon gets stuck in the mud, Morgan gets hurt, looses his memory, and wakes to find he is Mariah's cousin and actually part of the show! But the trouble really begins when Morgan starts to have sexual feelings toward Mariah which he believes is his cousin, and she is attracted to him, but unable to reveal the fact that he is not her cousin! Meanwhile, the Doolittle gang are still at large, the couple unknowingly befriend one of them, and Morgan's memory is coming back! Oh, what a tangled web Sharon weaves!Ms. Ihle has the perfect cure for the common cold - a hot and steamy read! This is one love potion that doesn't come in a bottle! A cure-all read!
