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 anythingâexcept love. And he's done everything he can to preserve his reputation as a womanizerâa 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.

Picking up where The Marriage Pact left off, Miller provides a lukewarm contemporary romance, Western style. Wyomingâs Mustang Creek is resplendent with cowboys, or at least men in 10-gallon hats, but jewelry designer Melody Nolan only has eyes for one: playboy police chief Spence Hogan. Spence and Melody have history together, and not all of it good. His love âem and leave âem reputation sends Melody running in the opposite direction. But he canât forget her good-girl charm. Their nine years of mutual avoidance end when a robbery and a secret pact throw them back together. Contrived circumstances and overly involved internal
dialogue overshadow quirky secondary characters in a pleasant smalltown setting, and disjointed plot elements detract from sweet dialogue and lovingly detailed scenery. Agent: Irene Goodman, Irene Goodman Literary Agency. -

Although their college romance fell apart years earlier and they got on with their lives--Melody Nolan as a jewelry designer, Spence Hogan as Mustang Creek's chief of police--the romantic spark between the pair never quite died. They are now in the wedding party of two of their closest friends, and although they've avoided each other for years, Melody and Spence are finally forced to deal with the past--and acknowledge that they may have a future together. VERDICT Another happy couple forgive the past and give in to love in this lighthearted, mystery-laced tale that beautifully continues Miller's Wyoming-set series. Miller (The Marriage Pact) lives in Spokane.
