She's a feisty and tenacious newspaper editor.

He's a hard-working rancher and talented peacemaker.

Will their lifelong friendship survive the growing divide between them?

Faith Goodell is a formidable young woman. Following in her father's footsteps, she runs the Mystic Gazette newspaper on the principles of providing timely and accurate information to her readers. Though tired of lonely nights in her large home, she has little time for anything outside of being the paper's sole reporter, editor, and publisher. If it weren't for her best friend, Joshua, she'd have no social life at all.

Joshua Beckett takes satisfaction in hard work and long hours on his family's Wild Spirit Ranch. He spends little time wondering about his single life and if or when he'll meet the right woman and marry. Instead, he enjoys the company of his lifelong friend, Faith, applauding her determination to continue the good work her father started.

What causes concern, is Faith's idea to form a Women's Alliance. While she views it as an expeditious way for women to have their voices heard, Joshua worries the group will cause a fraction in the community, impacting sales of the newspaper.

Adding to his worry are the threats of a roving gang of bank robbers who seem to have targeted the town of Mystic, and Joshua's growing realization his feelings for Faith have grown beyond friendship.

More frightening is the knowledge he has no idea what to do about them.

Heart of Mystic Valley, Book Two in the Montana Becketts ♦ Wild Spirit Ranch historical western romance series, is a clean and wholesome full-length novel with an HEA and no cliffhanger.
