Millie - Paperback

by Shanna Hatfield (Author)

She's fighting to change the world.
He's determined to change her mind.

Millie Matlock has seen firsthand the damage whiskey can do. Fiercely independent and driven by conviction, she's sworn off love and devoted herself to the temperance movement, determined to protect the women of Pendleton from the hardships she once endured. Leading the local chapter of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, Millie is ready to shut down every saloon in town-no matter the cost.

Gideon McBride has worked too hard to lose everything. As the owner of one of Pendleton's most successful saloons, he's not about to let a spirited reformer destroy his livelihood. Desperate, Gideon agrees to a bold-and risky-plan: court the woman leading the charge against him and keep her distracted long enough to save his business.

But what begins as a calculated scheme soon turns into something far more complicated when he realizes Millie isn't just beautiful and passionate-she's also kind, courageous, and impossible to forget.

And Gideon isn't the heartless saloon keeper she expected. He's steady, protective, and quietly yearning for something more.

As spring unfolds in the small Western town and stolen moments on a peaceful pond turn into something deeper, Millie and Gideon must decide what matters most-their convictions or the unexpected love taking root in their hearts.

Welcome to Pendleton Petticoats-a heartwarming historical Western romance series filled with courageous women, honorable men, and love stories rooted in hope, humor, and small-town charm. Each book can be enjoyed as a standalone, but readers will delight in returning to Pendleton again and again.

If you enjoy sweet romances with strong heroines, protective heroes, and a touch of humor, step into the world of Millie and discover a love worth fighting for.
