Bella

"Bella" is a historical romance set in the 1880's, during great change in America's expanding western frontier. Annabella Dawson was a simple farm girl, unfamiliar with adventures, until a frantic telegram from a beloved aunt upsets her family's rural Kansas household. Within days, the world she once knew turns topsy-turvy as destiny sets in motion a chain of events certain to change the course of many lives. But as Annabella and her sister board a train for the bustling silver mining town of Leadville, Colorado, they cannot phantom the circumstances that lay ahead. Adren Masters was a wealthy Leadville area rancher, with a mysterious past and a searing need to prevent its discovery by those around him, especially a maturing son. And although the darkness lay far to the east, its talons bite into Adren's soul as viciously as it had fifteen years ago.
