She took a deep breath. The dark green blouse stretched tight against her shoulders. "When the driver lost control and the rig plunged down into Little Cougar Arroyo, killing both himself and the alcalde's nephew, there were four of you. When you tied up the other driver and guard and drove off with the wagon full of goods, there were four of you. When you were captured at Montoya Raton, there were four of you.

Book 3, The Belles of Lordsburg Series: The Outlaw’s Twin Sister, a western romance Christian novel by Christy Award winning author Stephen Bly
In this western romance Christian novel set in the 1880s, Julianna Ortiz gave up her hopes for a perfect life long ago. She’s 32, and alone, and she’s accepted that. For how could she ask anyone to share in the absurdity that has become her life? Her brother languishes in prison. His fellow gang members constantly harass her. And her father who was absent for so long has now returned.
As if Julianna needs more aggravation, along comes a notorious gunslinger named DelNorte. Their first meeting is frustrating. So much so that she’d rather see him dead than talk with him again. A wish that almost comes true. Yet this enigmatic man just may hold the key to saving all that matters most to her.
Lordsburg, New Mexico, is a hot, dusty railroad town. Julianna Ortiz wants nothing more than to run a quiet jewelry shop, raise her nephew, and forget the past. But a mysterious cowboy called DelNorte complicates everything.
A Christy Award finalist western romance Christian novel.
Hers wasn’t the life little girls dream of … not yet anyway. Her life was like a bad dream that kept getting worse. Until the Lord awakened her to a future of hope.

Excerpt from The Outlaw’s Twin Sister:
She took a deep breath. The dark green blouse stretched tight against her shoulders. “The driver lost control and the rig plunged down into Little Cougar Arroyo, killing both himself and the alcalde’s nephew. You tied up the other driver and guard and drove off with the wagon full of goods. When captured at Montoya Raton, there were four of you. Always four. Why is it only my brother is going to be shot by the firing squad?”

Review
“I just finished reading this book and was so entertained by it! I love the humor in it and the quick quips they exchange is hilarious. It’s the first book by Stephen that I’ve read, and I hope to read the first two in that series next. I need large print books, so sometimes books are limited in our library. Godspeed in your reading ventures.” Mary Hale
Other books in The Belles of Lordsburg Series include The Senator’s Other Daughter and The General’s Notorious Widow.
