title: Once Upon an Outlaw
author: Larer, Lissa
description: Fairy Tale Love...Western Style! Dime Novelist Josie Hart Penned Tales About The Wild West... But when she moved to Livingston, Oregon with her newly hired sheriff brother, determined to find inspiration for a new story, the town proved to be much too tame. Then, a chance encounter put her face-to-face with outlaw Cole Riley. Or is he? Hard to tell for sure when the locals know him by another name. Tall, wickedly handsome and eyes the color of gun-metal gray, fate, she believed, brought them together. So she decided to do what any inquiring writer would do. She made him her new research. What's A Wanted Man To Do? With plans of opening a saloon, and living a law-abiding life, Cole doesn't need or want Miss Spitfire distracting him. Having his alias blown could mean going to prison. But when a pal from his past requests a favor-returning an orphan nearly halfway across state-Cole soon realizes he needs the woman whose trailing him. Still, he can't help but wonder what's in it for her. The reward? It's only for one week, then they'd be going their separate ways. But along the wilderness, tempting kisses and pretending wedded bliss, he finds he likes it. And her.
