The Second Chance Town: A Mail Order Bride Romance
By
Doreen Milstead
Copyright 2015 Susan Hart
Synopsis: Two female con artists decide to scam a couple of rich men out west so they take two priests with them to get married, as the town’s population is only fifty people. Things start to unravel quickly when everyone pokes their noses into everyone else’s business.
The woman's birth name was Jacqueline Moon, but it was a name she hardly used at all anymore. She would more often than not simply make up a name for herself, or use a long-standing alias depending on whom she was with at the time. She was currently nameless and sitting on a bench outside of a Gentleman's Club.
She was waiting for someone to come out and it didn't matter whom so long as it was one of the members of the club and not one of the workers. Most of the workers knew her by this point and wouldn't be conned and she often wondered why none of them had notified the police that a woman was fleecing their customers. She assumed that none of the gentlemen revealed that they had been tricked by anyone, much less a woman and the workers would only intervene if one of the members asked them to do so.
As she thought about this, the door opened and a portly man in a top hat stepped down the stairs and was about to pass Jacqueline by when she screamed. The man went white, stopped, and turned to her.
He said, I say, madam, are you all right?
I've lost everything,
said Jacqueline, and it was more or less true. Please help. I just need a little bit of money so I can get something to eat.
The man squinted at Jacqueline. You look familiar. Tell me, have you ever spoken to a man named Horace?
No,
snapped Jacqueline. She had been found out and so it was time for her to leave this place. She got up to leave and the man stopped her, pushing her back down.
We'll get you the help you need,
he promised. If you help me in return.
The man grinned salaciously and Jacqueline knew what kind of help he wanted. She tried to inch away from him, snarling, I'm not that kind of woman.
According to my good friend Horace, you're the kind of woman who takes advantage of men,
said the top-hatted man. I think it's time you know what that feels like.
I know what it feels like,
said Jacqueline and with one well-placed foot, the man was incapacitated and Jacqueline was on the move. She wove through the streets until she made her way back to her safe house, a run-down old shack where she was staying with her partner-in-crime, Heather Billingsley. Heather was sitting at a ramshackle vanity and staring into the cracked mirror, her breath causing a slight mist that was obscuring her face.
She swiveled on the stool and said, How do I look?
You look like someone who's about to freeze to death,
said Jacqueline. I think our next move should be somewhere warmer. Maybe we can head down south.
Heather rolled her eyes. Got caught again, didn't you?
Not my fault,
said Jacqueline. You know how hard it is to keep things viable.
"True enough. All right, but if we're going to put all the time and effort into getting somewhere, we should probably make darn sure it's a place where we can make some decent money. I don't want to go to some flea pit in the middle of nowhere where there's five people with two bits between
