What better opportunity to put a bullet in Dan Tyler's heart than being his trusted wife? Murder is Jenny Linden's motive in answering the former prison guard's ad for a mail order bride. She's ready to avenge her father's death in a Confederate prison camp. Packing her purse with a revolver -- and a Bible, to convey a false identity -- she sets out to Winslow, Arizona, to marry him, kill him, sell his ranch, and return a rich woman. Can the light of love break into the darkness of Jenny's schemes?

Giving one star because its not possible to give less than that. The heroine is psychotic and violent and needs immediate institutionalisation. The h and H meet 11 pages from the end of the book - most of the book is like being lost in a labyrinth where you keep returning to the same few scenes. No story development at all. Couldn't care about any of the characters by the end. Recommend skipping this entirely
