Copper Creek Series Book One Before the summer of 1880, Jane Randolph would never have guessed how many secrets were hidden in Copper Creek; secrets of greed, secrets of revenge, and secrets of forbidden love. But the most dangerous secret surrounded rumors of a rich copper deposit in the area. Like most residents, Jane had dismissed the legend as gossip. Yet, it was that foolish disregard which threatened to destroy the entire community. Orphaned as a child, Jane had come to love everything about Copper Creek and had settled contentedly into the role of assistant clerk at her uncle’s store. Her quiet, well-ordered mind was ideally suited to her simple, routine existence; an existence both suddenly and irrevocably complicated by two strangers. Thomas Mason’s unwelcome arrival sparked the first whisper of trouble. Shrouded in mystery, his true purpose in coming to Copper Creek seemed just as inscrutable as his personality. Likewise, Jane’s encounters with the town’s new minister, Henry Kohl, raised questions in her mind about his past and his palpable animosity toward her uncle. Confused by both men’s intentions toward her, Jane’s life becomes a morass of complicated emotions and startling revelations. In order to save her home and her heart, Jane must unravel the mystery of the town’s hidden fortune and stop the carefully crafted crime to seize it, before it’s too late.
