Michael Gear, New York Times bestselling authors The 1849 Gold Rush is no place for a refined young woman on her own, but Quinn MacCann plans to become a businesswoman, independent, and capable of earning her own way. To escape her wealthy but abusive father with her inherited dowry intact, Quinn marries a stranger—a man so new to the area her powerful father doesn't control him yet—but freedom and independence are more costly than she imagined. With her hopes and dreams buried deep by secrets, she flees to California's gold country, a rugged man's land where only the strong survive. Battling blackmail, fraud, and deception, Quinn must face the most divisive lie of all—her own. “An engaging historical novel with original characters, a compelling story line, and a setting rich with evocative details.” —John D.
