When Russia Valentine, a starry-eyed saloon girl with a heart full of fairy-tale dreams, locks eyes with Santiago Zamora—a cynical, gun-slinging loner who's sworn off happily-ever-afters—their collision sparks something neither of them expected. Russia is convinced this brooding Texas gunslinger might be her Prince Charming, even as Santiago insists he's anything but, especially not for someone as chaotic and endearing as her. When Russia tricks him into helping her hunt down a dangerous enemy, Santiago discovers that the greatest adventure of his life isn't about the bounty—it's about the tart-tongued beauty who's systematically dismantling every wall around his guarded heart. This is a delightful enemies-to-lovers romp that asks whether even the most broken soul can learn to believe in magic again.
