The Inheritance

A runaway heiress. A desperate miner. In the snowy heart of Colorado, can they overcome the shadows of their past together?

December 1889. Heiress Lavinia Starr has only one chance to escape her ruthless stepbrother and the unwanted marriage he’s arranged. Desperate for freedom, she boards a westbound train in the dead of night. With danger close behind, she hides in the rugged Rockies, forced to depend on a stranger for survival.

Silver mine owner Isaac Loritz has thirty days to strike a new vein before investors shut down the Coronado Mine. The last thing he expects to find on Christmas Eve is a determined young woman sleeping in his barn. Lavinia’s courage and beauty awaken a longing he thought long buried. Helping her could cost him everything, but he can’t leave her alone in a winter storm.

As snow blankets Aspen, danger closes in. Lavinia must return to the prison of her past or fight for freedom and a future with the man who has captured her heart.
