Book 2, Heroines of the Golden West Series: The Marquesa, romance western by award-winning author Stephen BlyFortune. Fame. Romance. Heartache. Revenge. In this romance western the Marquesa Isabel Leon knows the plot. Similar to the dramas she starred in from San Francisco to New York, but never did she dream they’d describe her own life. And never in the windswept, tiny town of Cantrell, Montana!
Yet Cantrell also offers Isabel true friends, a place that she can finally call home, and the chance to become a new woman. No longer a daring actress on the move, she owns and manages a soon-to-be completed hotel.
Captain Dawson Mandara guaranteed to finish construction on Isabel’s hotel within six weeks. That assumes they can learn to work together. He irritates and frustrates her. But she is intrigued by the past he won’t talk about and the family that he will. Meanwhile, there’s vengeful robberies. Surprising shootouts. Friends disappearing. Folks murdered. Survival by deceit and smooth talk. And finding her freedom in the hands of Divine Providence while in jail. Life in Montana is every bit as exciting as the dramas she once acted in. But if Isabel is offered the role she always dreamed of, will she be ready to accept it? New role with new home and promise of a fresh beginning.

He’s coming here? I wasn’t planning on male visitors!
She snatched up the shawl and placed it back on her shoulders. She brushed her hair straggles ehind her ears and hunted for a mirror.
