Lillie Cahill has spent years trying to forget the devilishly handsome Trask Beaumont, who left the small town of Gilt Edge, MT, almost a decade earlier after being accused of a crime he didn't commit. Now, between working at the historic Stagecoach Saloon with her twin, Darby, and keeping her aging, somewhat eccentric father out of the county jail where her older brother Flint runs a tight ship as sheriff, Lillie decides it's time to take a chance on dating again. But when Trask suddenly returns, determined to win Lillie back and clear his name, any attempt at closure quickly evaporates. Lillie's quest to help Trask find the real killer of local construction tycoon Gordon Quinn unwittingly places her life—and her heart—once again on the line. Parallel stories of a missing-persons case and Flint's troubled ex-wife's attempts to sabotage his newly forming relationship offer readers a first taste of the lively personalities that make up the Gilt Edge community and the entertaining Cahill clan.
VERDICT Daniels (Wild Horses) launches her new "Cahill Ranch" series with a suspenseful story of a cool-headed cowboy whose pride is tamed but not diminished and a fearless, brilliant heroine who refuses to accept defeat. Contemporary Western romance fans will look forward to the next installment.
