Publisher's summary

From New York Times bestselling author Amy Harmon comes a sweepingly romantic tale of risk, redemption, and what happens when America’s most famous outlaw falls in love.

When infamous outlaw Butch Cassidy decides to go straight, he discovers that too many of the powerful men he crossed won’t let bygones be bygones. To have a chance at a new life, he’ll have to become someone else entirely.

A brief, fateful encounter with the celebrated singer Jane Touissant on the eve of his escape offers a glimpse of what might have been, but Butch disappears, leaving her behind, until their paths unexpectedly converge again in Paris.

Despite having discovered his true identity, Jane trusts the outlaw and enlists his protection on her upcoming American tour. Although Butch is reluctant to agree, fearing his sordid past may put the woman and her young son in danger, the salvation she offers is too hard to resist.

As they set forth on their journey, Butch’s past and Jane’s secrets put them at risk from threats far greater than the law, and this legend of the American West will have to decide what matters most—his life, his legacy, or the woman he loves.

An honest man and his love story

I loved the whole story. Rob is an outstanding narrator and brought Amy’s story to life. Thanks Amy, keep your stories coming, I look forward to each one.

LOVED THE ENTIRE STORY

Every time Amy Harmon writes a book I think it is my favorite. Then she writes another!

SO good!

As always, both this author and this narrator did a marvelous job. The characters were brought to life in such a way, it was hard to put the book down. Excellent!

All the feels…

A beautiful story from a beloved author. I wish Butch Cassidy really had the second chance you gave him.

Enthralling storyline and beautiful narration

I pre-ordered Noble Salt before I even knew what it was about because I knew that author Amy Harmon and voice actor Rob Shapiro would bring a stunning story. The plot caught my attention immediately. I felt I was right there with all the characters. The story moved me to tears. when I finished I had to come right here to rave about it. Get this story! You won't regret it!

Obsessed

Amy Harmon never disappoints. This book is my new favorite. I’m always drawn in and captivated by her storytelling and this one hit it out of the park. Noble and Jane 😍 Gus 😍 I laughed. I cried. I found myself limiting how long I was allowed to listen each day because I didn’t want it to end. Five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An outlaw’s love story

Could not stop listening, a feel good story with many dimensions, now I’d like to visit Utah

Love, Love, Love

This is a must read! It's fiction, but as always, Amy Harmon does a great job giving her characters life. I love most of her books, but this one made me cry while I was trying to keep it together long enough to work and listen at the same time. You can draw easy conclusions about the ending, but that still doesn't prepare you for the tear-jerkers at the end. It's a simple read, but has lots of depth and meaning. No smut, but very classy intimate scenes. If you're like me and are a sucker for bittersweet endings that leave you feeling empty and whole at the same time, in the best way possible--try this one!

Marvelous Story. Deeply Moved

This book totally took me by surprise. I think it will surprise others in the best way too. If you’re looking for a story with incredible romance and second chances, this is it. Don’t miss this! Narration was done perfectly.

LOVED! That’s all I can say.

What a beautiful and well written story. I’m so emotional with how the story developed, the way this characters get so deep in you. I was sobbing while reading thinking how unfair is things for Jane, Augustus and Butch Cassidy, this last one a notorious Outlaw, and I just wanted him to not get caught. How? Well, because of the way Amy wrote this character, he knows he’s doing bad things and even when he’s trying to get out actions have consequences and won’t disappear. Butch Cassidy is so loyal to he’s friends and family that he is incapable of left them behind. At the end this is a story of bad decisions, love, family loyalty and redemption we’ll apply. I’m very happy on how things turned up at the end.
