Ophelia Kendrake had barely finished conning the coat off a cardsharp’s back before she and her adopted sister stumbled into Dead End, Wyoming. Mistaken for the Countess of Bridgewater, Ophelia saw no need to reveal herself until she had stripped the hamlet of its fortunes and ridden off into the sunset. Elevated from swindler to lady, the fiery haired would-be actress couldn’t help but laugh at taking advantage of a town so sold on appearances. But the free-spirited beauty almost swallowed her script when she met the town’s handsome, young mayor.

When Tyler Matthews returned from an Ivy League education and years abroad, he wanted only to settle down and enjoy the simplicity of life on a ranch. But his aunt and uncle and the rest of the town were set on making a silk purse out of Dead End and Tyler was going to be the mayor—whether he liked it or not. Until he met the town’s newest visitor and lost his heart. But love was one thing, trust was something else altogether and uncovering her secrets might ruin any chance of happily ever after.

And the wild west will never be the same again!
