Every small town has a rich bad guy with goons...and this town’s bad guy is BT, who owns the town saloon. Liliian’s cousin, Carl, encouraged to move out West and open a clothes shop. Once she arrived, Carl expected her to pay his gambling debts. When the ex-douche skips town, BT & goons, including Carl, kidnap Lil and torture her, believing that she knows the location of the gold. Nick, a horse trader, is on his way to town to sell his horses when he stumbles upon a woman...bound, gagged & hanging over a mine shaft. Nick cuts down the woman & nurses her back to health. Meanwhile in small town, BT is requiring proof that Lil is dead...will they find Lil and finish the job? Will Nick & Lil give in to the growing attraction to each other? Will they find the gold? No spoilers...just know that Lil grows a backbone. There is an HEA. Now my heart rate can get back to normal!

Cowboys and romance!
This western style story has a little bit of everything. You have that old time western feel of the robbery, the bad guys chasing who they thought have the gold, the damsel in distress and the cowboy to the rescue. Nick and Lillian build a love while living through extenuating circumstances. Nick is the protective type, easy to fall for while Lillian is trying to figure out where life will take her next. Being pursued for the gold leaves her vulnerable and afraid. With this strong man next to her, will she be protected? When Nick finds himself in a deal with the devil, how will it all play out? Parmley has woven a lot of suspense into this novella. With a fairly large supporting cast including BT, Grady and Carl, it would have been interesting to have additional storyline with these outlaws.They did heighten the excitement of the story. A fun listen.
Joshua Macrae is a soft sounding narrator, his voice is very soothing. I found his narration at times to be a little too easy,the characters need the gruffness and ruggedness of an outlaw. He does have a good pace for his reading and a good variety of voices.
