05 - Bullet for Cinderella by John Dann MacDonald

Toni Raselle may have the veneer of a city girl, but her roots were firmly planted in the humble river shack she hailed from. Her deep-set eyes and gypsy charm had a certain magnetism that was impossible to resist. I found myself drawn to her, risking everything to find her. All for the promise of a hidden treasure, a fortune in stolen goods that she knew the whereabouts of. This beguiling creature was my only clue, my only chance to find the loot that was lost. - Summary by Back cover blurb from first edition
