  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;USA Today&lt;/i&gt; bestselling author Jo Goodman delivers a thrilling tale of small town greed that may have big time consequences- unless two strangers open their hearts to a highly unconventional agreement&#8230;

Rachel Bailey may seem like just a beautiful newcomer to most of Reidsville, Colorado, but Sheriff Wyatt Cooper knows she's much more. Through a twist of fate, Rachel is the inheritor of a very valuable commodity: control of the railway that keeps the isolated mining town connected to the world. That is, she will be, if she agrees to the surprising stipulation in her benefactor's will - that she marry Wyatt.

Rachel has no choice: refusing the marriage could put all of Reidsville in the hands of an outsider, and not just any outsider but the cruel tyrant she has come here to escape. Yet living with Wyatt will be her greatest challenge. For he has a tempting way about him that makes Rachel forget theirs is a marriage in name only - until her frightening past shows up to remind them exactly how much they have at stake&#8230;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[While I did enjoy this story, it's not quite right.  It has a decent plot &amp; the interaction between the H&amp;H, while it's slow getting started, heats up nicely in the second half.  It's just muzzy somehow.  Character development isn't very distinctive, and what internal monologue there is doesn't reve...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72807950">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Rating: 2.5 / 5<br/><br/>This book was a total random buy for me (something I don't do much of lately).  I saw it at the grocery store book section.  The cover caught my eye and the synopsis sounded interesting...though the hefty thickness of the book made me a little indecisive.

    <body><![CDATA[Not much of a reader for Westerns, but I really loved this book - mostly because the hero was such a great character.  Wyatt is not your typical alpha male.  Although strong, capable, and very protective, he's laid back and happier to use his intellect to solve a problem than a six-shooter.
