The Hoyden

Runaway Dani Davis heads west, only to find a group of ten orphans alone and in dire straits. The nun who was trying to find homes for them has died, and they have no food or any place to stay. Disguised as Sister Mary Daniel, Dani spends the last of her funds buying a wagon and team and quickly moves the children on to a new town where there is no chance of anyone remembering Sister Mary Agnes.

Dani knows the quickest way to raise money is by playing poker. The saloon's owner is shocked, and sends for the sheriff to help get the tiny nun out of his business. Clay Tanner finds it funny to see the feisty nun doing everything in her power to care for the children, but when he learns they are living in the abandoned Anderson house, his attention turns serious.

Clay collects the children and the little nun and moves them into his large house. From that point on, he doesn't have a peaceful moment. The nun doesn't act like a one, and he is certain she was sent west to find homes for the children as a punishment.

Dani is hopelessly in love with the aggravating, stern sheriff, and she fears the day she has to admit to him that she is the runaway, Dani Davis. She is positive all of his threats to punish her will be carried out before she gets a chance to explain, and worse, he will send her away.
