Publisher's Synopsis
She's a dancehall girl who wants to change her reputation. He's an ex-gunslinger who wants to start a new life. But the untold adventure awaiting them in the Wild West may be more than they bargained for.
Ella Raines may not have the cleanest reputation in New York, but what she wants most is respect. Needing to make a change and live a respectable life, Ella answers an ad in Hearts and Hands Magazine for a mail-order bride to a banker in an up-and-coming Western town, Whiskey River, Wyoming. Colton Hill is a wandering gunslinger seeking new horizons and tired of being challenged because he's the fastest gun around. When he meets Ella, he's amused by her unusual ambition and agrees to tag along to Whiskey River as her escort to see this for himself. Together, they travel Westward in search of happiness, purpose, and destiny. What they find instead is the spark of something they cannot control.... At the end of the 19th century, as the untamed West is molded by the rough hands of those who believe in destiny and the value of hard work, Colton and Ella find themselves in a world unlike any other they've known before. Will they survive Whiskey River? Or better yet, will they survive each other? Join Ella and Colton as they discover that it's never too late to change... and that reputation and love are worth more than gold. Each book in the Whiskey River Brides Series is a stand alone and features a different couple: a dancehall girl and a gunslinger, a sheriff and an outlaw, a dress designer and a lawyer, and more. All books are Sweet Historical Western Romance. *Note: This is the second publication of this book. It was previously published as Whiskey River (Whiskey River Brides, #1) by Theresa Oliver with another publisher.
