Overview

Paisley Bell knows the eccentric people of Savage Wells. From the absentminded shopkeeper who always thinks she's been robbed to the young man who has returned shell-shocked from the war, Paisley has compassion for them all. When the sheriff up and leaves town, Paisley steps up and assumes the responsibility, partly because she loves the work, but also because she needs the income to take care of her sick father. So when the town council decides that the position of sheriff should really go to a man, Paisley finds herself fighting to prove that she's the perfect candidate for the job, even though she wears a skirt. Cade O'Brien is heartily sick of shooting people. In his many years as a lawman, Cade has seen his share of blood and violence. So when he answers an advertisement for a sheriff job in the sleepy town of Savage Wells, he believes he's found the peace and quiet he's always desired. But when he discovers that his biggest competition for the job is a woman, he begins to question his decisions. Tension between the two begins to sizzle when both Cade and Paisley realize the attraction they have for each other, but when Paisley's former beau shows up in town, along with a band of bank robbers, the blossoming relationship between the two sheriffs is tested. They will have to work together to thwart the bank robbers and keep the town safe.

Sparks fly amid witty banter...Appealing. -- Publishers Weekly (8/2/2016 12:00:00 AM) Headstrong and wonderfully brave heroine and a hero who is strong enough to grow along side her. A sweet romance that is suprisingly perceptive, charming and richly engaging. -- Romantic Times (9/28/2016 12:00:00 AM) Aother deftly crafted and unfailingly entertaining novel by an author who is a master of the historical romance genre. Very highly recommended. -- Midwest Book Review (1/16/2017 12:00:00 AM) Foreword Reviews 2016 Indies Book of the Year Award finalist--ROMANCE-- Foreword Reviews (3/15/2017 12:00:00 AM) The banter between the two main characters, Paisley and Cade is refreshing and fun. Additionally appealing is the way in which Eden focuses more on advancing her plot and letting the romantic aspects of her story fall in place naturally. The tactic of showing each character's personality traits through his or her actions is quite effective. It feels as though the reader is an observer in all of the scenes. The characters and their stories become personal and engaging. Readers will find plenty of ponder-worthy topics, action, suspense, and yes, romance.
