{"product_id":"the-outlaw-paperback","title":"The Outlaw - (Paperback)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBestselling author Jennifer Millikin delivers an emotional small-town romance about a misunderstood man and the woman who can set him free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's a thin line between being a hero and a villain, and I'm well aware I walk right down the middle of it. My reputation precedes me, even when I'm making a bad choice for the right reason. This is how I wind up in the back of a police car late one night.My infamous last name keeps my record clean, with a single caveat: community service at a ranch recently purchased by Jo Shelton. I think I'd rather go to jail than serve time with the woman who has made it clear she can't stand me, even though we used to be friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the tense atmosphere and how she keeps me at arms' length, I show up every day, ready to work. Quickly I learn a valuable lesson: while it's difficult being around someone I don't like, it's far more difficult being around someone I find myself intensely attracted to, but cannot have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause Jo, the woman who's driving me crazy with her quiet strength and beautiful face, is in a relationship. With a man who, I'd like to point out, is not out there getting his hands dirty on his girlfriend's ranch. Possession is 9\/10th's of the law, and as far as I'm concerned, I'm currently in possession of Jo's time and attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne day, the unexpected happens. Her blue eyes pierce my callused exterior, seeing deep down into a wound I work hard to hide. It's in this moment, and so many that follow, that I become certain there's no hope left for me. I'm in love with Jo, and I'm desperate to show her I'm someone worthy of her love in return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLucky for me, nobody rises to the occasion quite like an outlaw.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"It's a Love Story","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49346239561947,"sku":"222608K","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/7171\/9131\/files\/original_24864524-0914-47f8-911e-662db6d8c7a5.png?v=1790113375","url":"https:\/\/www.lovestorybooksandcafe.com\/products\/the-outlaw-paperback","provider":"It's a Love Story","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
