September's Dream

by Ruth Ryan Langan

Lovely September Malloy traveled from San Francisco to Alaska with one dream to find her renegade gold miner father. Then she was robbed by a smooth con man, and had to find work singing in a rough saloon. Her songs captured the heart of Jason Conroy, a handsome mountaineer, who planned a daring winter trek to the distant gold fields. September joined his perilous journey, only to be swept into an uncharted wilderness of danger and passion. He was more man than she had ever known but now she must make the rugged loner trust her newborn love for his beloved land and for him.
