Mari quickly agrees but balks when the film crew insists she stop mining. Then Mari meets Tony Ewing.Tafft's heaviest investor and a dyed-in-the-wool Easterner, Tony arrives to investigate the film's progress.

Then the film crew discovers that Mari's silver mine isn't a silver mine at all, leaving Mari with a choice: admit she needs Tony and his investor ways, or walk away from the greatest find of her life.REVIEWS:"Alice Duncan doesn't fail fans who enjoy her blend of humor and snappy dialog." ~Carol Carter"Alice Duncan masterfully creates a fiercely independent, slightly offbeat heroine the reader can't help but love." ~Cindy Penn, WordweavingTHE DREAM MAKER SERIES, in order Cowboy for HireBeauty and the BrainThe Miner's DaughterHer Leading Man
