"Then... then behave yourself!"

Those are the words Beth utters to Joe Castle on their first encounter.

She takes his breath away, this little spitfire. Her beauty, however is one thing. Her temper, quite another.

It not only surprises him, it sends a clear challenge;

And it's one he's willing to accept.

But unknown to Beth, all severn of her brothers have been following closely behind, all the way from Westhampton,

determined to bring her back east.

Now it's a game of cat and mouse.

And it's seven to two.

A Rougher Touch...
