Devil’s Springs

After shooting her husband in defense of her virtue, young Lenora Brooks is convicted and sentenced to death by hanging as was custom in the old west. Resigned to her fate, Lenora was ready to move on, but someone had other plans

After successfully faking her death, Marshall Amos Forrest offered Lenora a second chance. aware of the skills she had obtained from her difficult past, Forrest gave Lenora a choice: hang for real, or take up the badge and a gun and bring order to a lawless county as the new sheriff. She accepted the offer. Tired, confused and under a new name, Lenora (now Willa Bell) sets out to do her time, but things are never simple. How will she handle the untamed land, dealing with tensions between settlers and natives, a roudy prospector, a trigger happy gunner, a devout priest, and a quick and sharp businessman and founder of her town? And is there more to the chance killing of her late husband and subsequent enlistment into law enforcement than meets the eye? As elements of a plot to destroy the expansion of western travel unfold, so too will the answers.
