Feel the
earth tremble and hear the thunder of stamp mills grinding gold. Mingle
with the gold lust of 10,000 men, prostitutes, outlaws and despised
Chinese.
Newly
orphaned in the gold rush town of Nevada City, California,
seventeen-year-old Mecury Mylonas is desperate. She depends on the man
she loves, the baron Dan Finch, only to be rejected by him.
With no
money and no other recourse, Mercury marries a rich older man, only to
find herself worse off than before. Cowed and beaten by her husband.
Mercury’s only friends are the Chinese houseboy, Ping Li, and the
semi-outlaw, City Marshal Henry Plummer. |

Surviving murder, forbidden love, and gossip, “She lives
with a Chinaman, runs a brothel, hides outlaws,’ unrepentant wealthy
widow Mercury Van Ult must find her way out of the morass life has
handed her, ever seeking her nugget of love. But will she recognize it
when it appears?
