“Though she be but little, she is fierce.” Shakespeare
Left bankrupt and homeless by a worthless husband, Harriet Pullen isn’t about to lay down and die. Finding a temporary home for her children, she heads to the gold rush town of Blessings, California to start over. One carefully planned step at a time, she’s going to make a home for her family, regain her financial independence, and build a new ranch–bigger and better than the one she lost. God help the man who ever gets in her way again.
Jason Meredith, an old friend, has a few things he’d like to say to Harriet, especially now that she’s a widow. He might have better luck surviving a bear attack, though, than thawing her frozen heart. He’s got his work cut out for him, but Jason’s a patient man. At least, he used to think he was…

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Hell-Bent on Blessings
Book Author: Heather Blanton
What do you like about this book:
"I'm going to kill him . . . . But he's already dead."
Harriet's good-for-nothing, drunk-all-the time husband is dead. That's a good thing and a bad thing; the good thing is that he'll never give her any trouble again, the bad thing is that he left her in a heap of trouble; three thousand dollars in debt to be exact. Determined that she will never rely on a man again, Harriet bravely leaves her children behind in Sundown, Oregon and travels to Blessings, California; hell-bent on making enough money to begin a new life for her family. Does it matter that a handsome sheriff, formerly from Sundown is already there?
Jason Meredith has put up his badge, enjoying a life free from the challenges of law enforcement, when Harriet Pullen arrives in Blessings. He's never met a more stubborn woman, but he's thankful to have a second chance at gaining her trust, nonetheless. When he and Harriet enter into a mutually beneficial business partnership, Jason could never have imagined to what lengths his heart would be trampled before Harriet transforms into a blessing.
Heather Blanton's talents are on full display with her saucy characters inspired by actual historical figures, whose fierce independence would make many a hair curl!
