Newly engaged to Jonas Hardcourt, a cattle rancher she met through a marriage service, she finds Chapman’s Forge an easy market for her yummy offerings.
Unfortunately, Belle doesn’t realize she’s stepping on some toes as she begins to win devoted fans for her cooking. And in the meantime, as trouble brews for Belle, Jonas’ cattle begin to sicken and die, poisoned by a mysterious substance no one can seem to figure out.
How will Rose Reynolds take being dethroned as the local cake baker?
Why are the cattle on the Hardcourt farm constantly falling sick?
When trouble comes calling, how will Belle prove her innocence?
You’ll meet two unsavory characters, Lowman and Burr, and come face to face with the foul Mr. Stokes.
