For years, tourists have flocked to Rustler Mountain for its month-long fair, which includes historic home tours. Librarian Millie Talbott is a descendant of a sheriff in the 1800s who was part of the town’s lore. He hanged the Wilder brothers after accusing them of a crime. Austin Wilder is one of the Wilder descendants, and he and his brothers are notorious for being wild and always in trouble. But Millie needs Austin’s help. She wants to reenact what happened that led to the Wilder brothers hanging. But to do that, she needs his approval. That is how she ends up on his doorstep. He turns her down—at first. Austin has always accepted that he and his brothers were born to have a bad reputation in town. Millie’s always intrigued him, mainly because he visits the library and checks out books from her. After turning her down, Austin changes his mind and shows up at a town council meeting. Her suggestion gets approved because of his consent and now he is working with Millie on the project. Being around her has a sizzling attraction skyrocketing between them. He thinks he is wrong for her, while she is surprised at how he has become her biggest ally. Will working together bring them to the bedroom? Digging through the diaries they find something that becomes an eye-opener for both. A secret is uncovered that just might change the past.

Yeah, everyone knows everyone in RUSTLER MOUNTAIN. She has always known Austin, but they rarely interacted except at the library. He intrigued her because he didn’t seem the type to read.
