Hell's Belle

by Shannah Biondine

Del Mitchell's a horse rancher in Nevada. A man known for brash behavior. When his intended jilts him at the altar, he heads straight for Minerva's Pleasure Palace for some liquor, some trollops, some chocolate syrup, and a bucket of whipped cream.

Twila Bell is rumored to be a harbinger of disaster. Town gossip in Wadsworth says she's accident prone, a female Jonah...maybe even a spell-casting witch. Her own kin call her the Bell from Hell.

How can a man famous for taking reckless, outrageous dares resist the temptation of pursuing a new romance with a girl like Twila Bell? And how could either of them guess their fateful meeting might presage the greatest luck of all?
