Fin­ished The Rustler by Linda Lael Miller. This is one of the books in her Stone Creek west­ern series.

In this one, for­mer out­law Wyatt Yarbro jour­neys to Stone Creek, Ariz., to stay with his brother and turn over a new leaf. Soon, Wyatt is sworn in as a deputy and starts inter­act­ing with the towns­peo­ple, includ­ing Sarah Tam­lin, who helps her father run the local bank. Wyatt is deter­mined to court and marry Sarah, but Sarah has a secret, one that might tear her and Wyatt apart in the end …

I really enjoy his­tor­i­cal romances set in the Amer­i­can West, and this one was no excep­tion. Miller has a lot of inter­est­ing char­ac­ters, espe­cially Wyatt, who strug­gles with his out­law past. This one is just a clas­sic com­fort read for west­ern fans. Thumbs up.

Up next: Per­suader by Lee Child.
