Jared Newman, bounty hunter, rides into Twin Springs with his
prisoner, Lute Peterson, to take a short break before continuing into Denver.
Meanwhile, Bob Cassidy, who has stolen their family’s cash and jewelry, is
standing up Silver Matlock at the altar.
Silver hires Jared to find the man who jilted her, and who has
caused the unwanted gossip from the townspeople. With her stepmother, Marlene,
not handling the embarrassment well, she orders Silver to Denver to stay with
her sister, until the situation calms down. Instead, Silver decides she will
join Jared in hunting Bob, to avoid going to her sister’s home in Denver.
As Jared and Silver begin their journey, Jared realizes the
man traveling with Bob is the same man responsible for murdering his sister. When
Jared receives information on his sister’s murderer, he leaves Silver to watch
over Lute until he returns. Lute finagles his way out of the restraints and
takes Silver hostage before Jared returns. Jared finds Silver, takes Lute back
into custody, and delivers him to the town sheriff.
Once again, they set out to bring Bob and his co-hort to
justice. Not only does Jared and Silver have reason to bring these two men to
justice, they find they have a reason to release the bitterness from within their
hearts.
Robin Lee Hatcher’s novel set in days of the old west is both
entertaining and enjoyable. The plot moves at a steady pace and pulls you in at
the same rate. I recommend to readers of light romance and western novels.
I received this book free from Litfuse Publicity Reviewer
Program for an honest and unbiased opinion.
