Publisher Description
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Susan Mallery returns to Fool's Gold with a new story that proves that wild hearts cannot be tamed...and shouldn't need to!
Shane Stryker is done with passion. He's back in Fool's Gold to settle down with the quiet ranching life he's always wanted. The rugged rancher has been burned too many times by the kind of women who dance on bars. This time, he's searching for a sensible candidate to become Mrs. Stryker.
The town librarian should fit the bill, but Shane has only seen her on the one night that Annabelle Weiss let her fiery hair down and have fun. Shane may be certain she's too dangerous to be in the running for his life partner, but Annabelle knows that theirs could be a love that ends happily–ever–after, with a wild ride into the sunset.....
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Mallery (Summer Days) is an unabashed escapist, and her cozy California town of Fool's Gold has never heard of a state budget crisis. It offers every possible service, including in-vitro fertilization, at prices all can afford; women occupy most positions of power; and the only bad guys come from out of town. Annabelle Weiss is a bombshell librarian who moved to Fool's Gold to escape her marriage to a pompous jerk. Shane Stryker is a local cowboy made good who's also divorced, but unlike Annabelle, he's willing to try again with someone nice, safe, and boring. Annabelle, who likes to dance on bars, doesn't fit the bill. But he also can't stop thinking about her, and when she shows up at his thoroughbred ranch (where an Arabian stallion improbably roams free) to ask for riding lessons, Shane goes along for the gallop. There's a little fun, a little sizzle, and a whole lot of homespun charm.
