Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The eccentric town of Savage Wells is looking for a sheriff. Paisley Bell has done the job before and is ready to prove she can do it again. Cade O’Brien, the most famous sheriff in Wyoming Territory, arrives in town, vying for the job as well. Sparks fly as the sheriffs go head-to-head, and the bantering rivals begin to feel like something more than just competitors. But when violent criminals threaten the people they care about, they’ll have to set aside their differences to save the town.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
