Rivers Of Gold

In 1848, barely a woman, adventurous Denise Willey travels to visit her brother in Arizona to escape betrothal to a man her father has chosen for her. The territory is more than wild, with daily gunfights, attacks on new settlements, and ruthless men who would do anything to snatch the precious land from her. Dubbed the murder capital of the West, Denise becomes engulfed in the constant danger and struggles of the area, and she is forced to grow up quickly. She encounters conflict at every turn, starting with news of her brother's murder, rumored to have been ruthlessly killed by a Yavapai warrior. The obstacles and challenges she'll have to overcome pale in comparison to the complexity of her new relationship with her brother's ranch hand and close friend, an ally to the Yavapai people.
