With the future he was planning completely out of reach anymore, Buck Darwin accepts his cousin's proposal to come and work at their family's mines in Stillwater. His return is oddly timed, coinciding with a shaft collapse that claims the lives of seven miners. Before too long Buck will find that there is mystery surrounding the collapse, and many suspect foul play. Buck is obliged to clear up his family's name from any suspicion and secure its future as a law-abiding American dynasty. Will he manage to keep his sense of loyalty to his family when confronted with irrefutable evidence presented by the most striking woman he has ever met?
Among those in Stillwater who second-guess the circumstances of the accident are the miner's seven widows, led by the feisty Minnie Chatfield. To his astonishment, Buck will witness the women in a campaign to work in the mines in their late husbands' place, as a way to keep their homes and provide for their children. When Buck and Minnie join forces to solve the mystery of the shaft's cave-in, none of them can predict the instant attraction that is about to spark between them. With their investigation leading them down a dark and dangerous road, and the odds stacked against them, will they manage to discover what is really at the heart of the mine?
Corruption and dignity, divided loyalties, and ruthless chicanery, all weave a tale of justice and retribution. Everyone has their own agenda, but trust will be necessary to keep the innocent together and alive, while desert justice is meted out. In the midst of this chaos, will Rose and Buck's love have a chance to blossom, or will they join the others as nameless victims in a cavernous mountain grave?
A pulse-pounding drama, which will make you turn the pages with bated breath until the very last word. A must-read for fans of Western action and romance.
"Vengeance for the Seven Miners" is a historical adventure novel of approximately 60,000 words. No cliffhangers, only pure unadulterated action.
