The Prospector’s Bride (Fortune In Ely Series) (A Western Romance Story)
A prospector who might have run out of luck…a rich beauty…and a cruel and powerful father…
Leigh Long—Elly to her friends—is quite used to a life of ease. After all, her father owns a variety of businesses in the town of Ely, and rules them with an iron hand. Her home life is ruled with the same fist, and she knows that it will take an amazing man to gain her hand in marriage, especially since her father is determined that she marry a cruel man who loves to mimic Mr. Long.
Pete Anderson—known as “Luckyâ€â€”didn’t come to Ely searching for a wife. He came for the prospect of gold. However, when pretty Elly drops a banner on his head as he rides into town, he realizes that perhaps his life is missing something after all. Something soft and warm, helpful and kind, and perhaps pretty and sassy too.
When Elly takes a bullet in defense of her new friend, everything changes for both of them. They are thrust into much more than friendship by the near tragedy, especially when her father tries to manipulate the events into something that didn’t happen. Elly and Lucky know that they’ll have to work hard to catch the shooter before someone is killed, but first they have to make a daring plan.
Elly’s mother is now their hostage…and they’ll stop at nothing to get gold and beautiful Elly…over her mother’s dead body if necessary.
Can Elly trust the handsome prospector, who she barely knows? Or will he lead her into the clutches of an evil man hand-picked by her own father?
Should Lucky take a chance on the pretty Elly or go back to searching for gold—or will he wind up tossed out of Ely with only the clothes he’s wearing?
