Gold Rush Bride Della: Gold Rush Brides Book 6
Bear
Valley, California--1861
The mining camp in the San Bernardino Mountains is the latest in a long line of
gold fields Della Wolfe and her brother have been dragged to by their father.
She clings to a vague memory of living in a house with a flower garden and vows
to mine enough to buy such a place of her own. Instead, she has to endure
living in canvas tents or poorly built shacks. Since the death of her mother,
her father calls her Del and insists Della wears trousers, binds her breasts,
and wears a slouch hat to keep others from taking notice that she’s female. The
amount Brendan and Gerhard are mining would be enough if Gerhard didn’t gamble
away half their earnings.
Harte Thorley is only working a gold claim to earn $200 to pay off his father’s
debt on the family farm to provide his mother and sisters a safe place to live.
Then he’ll dig enough nuggets from the creek bed so he can open a store. He
envies the family mining the adjacent claim because they help each other while
he does everything himself and drops onto his bedroll exhausted every night.
Instead of sleep, he can only think about the dark-haired woman nearby who
passes as a man. Getting close to his monetary goal, he needs a plan for
securing his claim while he delivers the money off the mountain.
First, Della’s father is jailed after a barroom brawl then her brother joins a
group of malcontents. Left on her own, Della turns to Harte for help. A
marriage of convenience is the solution--she receives Harte’s protection and
he’s guaranteed a continued presence on his claim. But thrown together into
close quarters causes a new set of problems. Will trust and dependence turn
into caring, or will the pair go their separate ways when they achieve their
own goals?

Francine Munsen’s life in 1878 had been a series of ups and downs—all because she allowed one of the benefactors of the Albany Elite Academy for Girls to raise a hope that she could attract a man willing to marry her, a spinster math and science teacher.
Jason Sewell, a full professor of science and astronomy at the University of Iowa, was a widower with no interest in marrying again. Then, during a trip to Rawlins, Wyoming to view a
total solar eclipse, in the weeks of hunting and exploring that followed, his friend—from whom his mother extracted a promise that a letter from a girls’ academy teacher would be answered before the end of the
summer—handed him the letter. As a wedding gift for his friend, he promised to respond. Months later, he invited Francine to spend her Christmas break in Iowa City.
Before Francine could travel to Iowa to
meet Jason in person, she must keep a promise. Serving the girls who could not return to their homes for the Christmas holiday a figgy pudding made using a centuries-old recipe had become a school tradition.
