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.

Butch Cassidy was done with his life as a wanted outlaw. Determined to change his fate, he adopted a new identity as Noble Salt. But an encounter with famed singer Jane Toussaint could change the course of their lives.
Before starting this book, I didn’t know anything about Butch Cassidy except for his name. And I’m glad the author’s note provided an insight into what’s fact and what’s fiction. The first half of the story was quite slow for me. Thankfully, I was invested from the second half until the end.
“Because you’re going to get yourself caught, and I need you, Noble Salt, Butch Cassidy, Robert LeRoy Parker. I need you.”
I loved how unassuming and honorable Butch was. Jane being haughty and prickly suited her situation. But my favorites were Gus and Van who were endearing.
Outlaw Noble Salt is a story of sacrifices and new beginnings. It would appeal to readers who enjoy Historical Romance.
