"When a kidnapper snatches Patience Smith in a case of mistaken identity, her life takes an unexpected turn. Lost in the mountains of Colorado, she manages to escape her captor only to stumble onto an abandoned mining dugout and a ragged orphan boy. Denver City sheriff Jay Longer has been on Patience's trail since the moment she was taken. While he has no desire to force the hot-tempered young woman to return with him, he can't just abandon her, not when her foolish plans to find gold are exposing her to danger. Striking it rich would mean a whole new future for Patience and her mail-order bride friends. But neither she nor Jay knows how far someone will go to keep them from finding the treasure in the mine." -- Page [4] cover.
