Cursed with beauty, Penelope Snow becomes a personal maid for a famous actress whose troupe is leaving Chicago to tour the West. Hiding behind shapeless dresses, she still manages to attract the wrong attention, leaving her prospects in tatters, and her jealous mistress plotting her demise. Texas Ranger Titus Kingsley has learned to expect the worst from women and is rarely disappointed. With a promotion hanging in the balance, Titus is assigned to investigate a robbery case tied to Penelope's acting troupe, and all evidence points to Penelope's guilt. But Titus might just be convinced that the fairest woman of all has a heart as pure as her last name, if only he can prove it.
