PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this cute contemporary Western from bestseller Yates (Hero for the Holidays), two descendants of adversaries in a Wild West shoot-out must put aside their family feud. As a librarian in Rustler Mountain, Ore., Millie Talbot loves the history of her gold rush town, including the anecdote about her great-grandfather, the sheriff, shooting the notorious outlaw Austin Wilder in 1867. Mousy Millie is getting over the heartbreak of her fiancé dumping her weeks before their wedding for Mayor Danielle LeFevre, but she's not about to let her pain or awkwardness around Danielle keep her from finishing her passion project: Gold Rush Days, a living history festival. To pull off the event, she'll need the cooperation of Austin Wilder's great-grandson and namesake, who is still considered the town bad boy at 35. Austin agrees to assist Millie and give her access to his ancestor's effects only if she'll help him clear the original Austen's name of murder. As they spend time together, their chemistry intensifies, but Austin warns Millie that he's never spent more than one night with any woman. Their classic good girl/bad boy dynamic is fun, and unraveling the truth about the Talbot-Wilder feud adds enticing mystery. Yates's fans are sure to be pleased.
