As good as she always is with a dry wit to make you smile

In Poppy, Colorado, a renowned madam, who is dying, informs Cason Murdock and Rosellen Lattimer the truth about the incident that ties their two families together forever. Fifteen years ago, two people robbed the local bank, killing the teller in the process. Rosellen's father, the town sheriff killed Cason's dad, who he accused of committing the crime. The well-regarded law enforcement official's word was accepted as gospel by the townsfolk. Now, the madam says that the deceased sheriff actually committed the crimes. She insists that his partner was his cousin. Cason immediately buys into the former hooker's story while Rosellen totally rejects the concept. However, Both realize that the truth lies with her uncle, a man she has not seen in years. As they both seek the missing man out, they fall in love with each other. However, with the past weighing heavily on the present, the future appears to be very dim for this couple. HELLION is brilliant we! ! stern romance due to the addition of an intriguing who-really-done-it. The story line is crisp and brings alive an era when females did not become sheriffs. The lead characters are a fine duo, who will receive much reader attention. Gloria Dale Skinner scribes a glorious tale that will be devoured by fans of the sub-genre.Harriet Klausner
