Gold and Ruin

di Edward C Distel (Autore)

Edward Distell, 2026

James Aldric Pemberton, Viscount Ashford, has a career at the Foreign Office, a suitable young woman waiting in Burgundy... in England, that is. What he tells his superiors is family business in Dakota Territory. What he doesn't tell them is her name: Eleanor Hargrove Cole. Eleanor has run the Cole Quartz Claim alone since her husband's death, in a gulch that burned to the ground once already and rebuilt out of sheer refusal to quit. She does not need rescuing, and she tells Pemberton so within an hour of his arrival in Deadwood's mud. What she needs is harder to admit: an equal, not a savior — and Harlan Peck, the consolidator quietly buying up half the district, circling closer every month. When Pemberton's family sends his brother to bring him home, and Peck makes his final move on the claim, James must decide what an English title is actually worth against a life he never expected to want. Gold & Ruin is a Victorian-set Western romance about inheritance, reinvention, and the particular stubbornness of people who refuse to be diminished — by law, by family, or by a mining town that tests everyone who stays.
