About the book

Tourists often visit Rustler Mountain, Oregon for its Wild West reenactments, but for locals, the ongoing feuds between outlaws and lawmen are still very much alive in this captivating contemporary western series by bestselling author Maisey Yates - perfect for fans of Lyla Sage, Elsie Silver, Jennifer Ryan, and Robyn Carr.

Heroes and villains . . . myths and legends . . . gold and ranching. This is the essence of historic Rustler Mountain, Oregon, where families with roots in the outlaw and lawman era still grapple with long-standing grudges. A hundred years later, when opposites come together, it may be time to let go . . .

The Hancock family, with their diverse heritage that ranges from killers to courtesans, has turned their colorful past into something respectable by creating the popular Hancock Wild West Show. Featuring reenactments and impressive trick riding, the show is headlined by the clever and charismatic Jessie Jane Hancock.

Jessie is usually unshakeable, but recently, something has been bothering her - and it's not just her irritating attraction to the exasperatingly handsome Flynn Wilder, whose ancestor was betrayed by Jessie's own forebear. It's the upcoming mayoral election, specifically the unopposed candidate, Danielle LeFevre, a mean-spirited individual and Flynn's less-than-beloved half-sister. Jessie is determined to prevent Danielle from winning . . . and the only person who annoys Flynn more than her is Danielle herself.

'I want you to be my fake fiancé,' Jessie Jane declares. Despite his hallucinatory attraction to her, Flynn is taken aback by her request. Jessie intends to run for mayor and she wants Flynn by her side as her pretend partner. A Hancock engaged to a Wilder. An outsider challenging the establishment. The town is in for a dramatic showdown. Flynn knew Jessie was unpredictable, but the opportunity to take down his corrupt stepfamily is too tempting to pass up. The undeniable chemistry between him and Jessie ignites a spark that leads to the ultimate confrontation . . .
