Cover Reveal - Gold Rush Groom
Join an Epic Journey - A Race to the Goldfields
I’m so excited to bring you a story set during the Yukon Gold Rush. Some of you know that gold prospecting is a hobby of mine and I’ve hunted with sluice, pan, dredge and metal detector from North Carolina to Alaska. I’ve learned how alluring and illusive gold can be and that surprising things often happen when out on an adventure. In my case that included keeping a watchful eye out for copperheads while dredging in a North Carolina river and being startled by a bull moose while prospecting in the Brooks Mountain Range.
In this story, Thomas Snow, a greenhorn prospector, discovers too late that his steamer ticket does not include transport of his goods from the waterline to the shore. This one unforeseen circumstance nearly costs him everything. He is rescued from disaster by Lily Shanahan, a singer, determined to find a partner to get her to Dawson City before the boom turns to bust.
This unlikely partnership, of two people from different worlds, touches off a dangerous journey over icy mountain passes and down raging rivers. Their alliance will be tested and their lives endangered as they struggle to reach Dawson in a race that determines who succeeds and who fails.

Unlikely partners face the journey to Dawson City … in the search for gold
With his family fortune gone, greenhorn prospector Jack Snow arrives in the Yukon seeking riches. There he discovers he has neither the resources nor experience to reach the goldfields, and the only person willing to take him on as a partner is a feisty, Irish immigrant and — a woman.
Lily Shannahan isn’t fooling herself. Time is running out, and she needs a partner to reach Dawson City. Desperation makes her choose a posh gentleman with little but his size to recommend him. She’s been a gambler all her life but choosing Jack might be the biggest gamble of all.
On the perilous journey over frozen mountains and raging rivers, Jack admits that Lily is fearless and tenacious, and Lily finds Jack resilient and resourceful. But as their journey ends, will they find a way to keep their newly formed partnership alive?
