Author: Linda Lael Miller

Amazon | Goodreads 

The women of Bliss County have a pact—to find husbands. The right husbands.

One already has: Hadleigh Stevens, who married rancher Tripp Galloway a few months ago. Now Melody Nolan thinks it's her turn. Melody has recently found success as a jewelry designer, and her work is the focus of her life. She's not exactly unhappy, but she wants more. She's always been attracted to Spence Hogan, the local chief of police, but she's convinced that Spence, a notorious charmer, isn't what you'd call husband material.

Spence is a good cop who isn't scared of anything—except love. And he's done everything he can to preserve his reputation as a womanizer—a reputation that keeps marriage-minded women, including Melody, at bay. And yet…there's something about Melody he can't forget. Something his heart can't ignore.

~ My Thoughts ~

Cops, robbers, romance, and charm, this second installment in The Brides of Bliss County which can be read as a stand alone, has a little something for every western romance lover.

Police Chief Spence Hogan has a reputation for being able to the charm the spurs off any single woman in Bliss County, except for jewelry designer Melody Nolan. They have a history, one he hopes to use to his advantage and one she'd like to forget. A string of robberies forces them to spend time together, and it doesn't take long for either of them to realize the attraction they feel isn't going away any time soon. 

One of the nice things about Linda Lael Miller books, is you can pretty much guarantee a happy ending, but not without a few bumps along the way.
