The story is another great addition to The Damsels of Shenandoah County, which can read as a standalone, but even better in written order of the series. Lucy Grace “Gracie” Kennedy meets Billy the Bully Becker when she tries to get home through a heavily wooded area when she is a young girl of seven.
He is impressed with her fortitude and attitude and helps her find her way to her family’s home. Billy was unjustly accused and expelled from school by a bully teacher, one who also tried to cane Lucy Grace. It is now 1860, eleven years later, and Gracie Kennedy is returning to Shenandoah after studying art in Philadelphia. Billy no longer uses that name and instead is Deputy Sheriff William Becker.
The story is full of mystery, suspense, and unsolved thefts in the ladies' boarding house, as well as, some of the local businesses. It will be up to William to help solve the crimes, and he will use the beginning of unproven but innovative science of fingerprints, even if at this time, it isn’t inadmissible in a court of law.
The plot will have William eliminating various ladies by comparing fingerprints from some of the stolen items and using a drinking glass from meals. While Gracie is new to the ladies' dormitory, she, along with Louise and Helena is quickly eliminated. But someone is placing stolen items in another person’s trunk trying to make them look guilty. As the game of cat and mouse plays out, so does the beginnings of a relationship between William and Gracie. He finds himself dealing with this beautiful but ornery girl and calls her his beast and his brat.
The story has a large cast of characters, many of them from previous stories, and a focus on the ladies at the dormitory. There is a threat made against the children of two prominent families that will add another layer of intense scenes. Dominant men, strong-willed ladies, along with life and death situations. Secrets will be revealed; friendships will be formed, and several romances are in the making. The story involves power exchange and has several OTK spankings and one intimate scene after a wedding.
