Carrianne’s Debacle
Broad Street Boarding House
To find the love she thought lost, a woman must face the devil himself.
When Carrianne Booker bid farewell to her husband Cord, she never imagined it would be the last time she saw him. Cord promised to seek their fortune in California’s gold fields, but his letters grew scarce, then stopped altogether. Fearing the worst, Carrianne resolves to brave the dangerous journey west alone to search for her missing love.
In the rough-and-tumble Barbary Coast, Carrianne discovers Cord is caught in a deadly struggle against the brutal crime lord Shiv Deegan. Deegan wants Cord dead for attempting to expose the devil’s bloody deeds.
Aided by lawmen, Cord is gathering evidence to bring Deegan to justice once and for all.
Though Carrianne dreads that Cord may break her heart again, she cannot abandon him to Deegan’s vengeance. Side by side, they plunge into a shadow world of violence and corruption, seeking to defeat the devil before their second chance at love is forever ripped away.
Carrianne sacrificed her future for love once. Now, in a wild country where the rule of law means little, she must muster the courage to face hell on earth so that love might live again. But will outwitting the devil of Barbary Coast cost Carrianne her life – and her heart?
