Why did they die?
Victoria Silverthorne needs answers.
Nightmares of her parents’ deaths fifteen years earlier haunt Victoria’s dreams. During her search for clues, she discovers a paternal uncle and aunt in Denver who may be able to shed let on the mystery of her parents. Against the wishes of many, she travels from the safety of her life on the Texas Panhandle to Denver, and then on to the booming mining town of Silverton, Colorado, to find answers.
Antonio “Tony” Morales fears for Victoria’s safety. Travel in the late 1890s is fraught with danger, and he is afraid if Victoria leaves she won’t return. His fears multiply when he discovers one of Denver’s leading crime bosses believes Victoria’s parents left her a map to Spanish gold. When Victoria sends for her palomino gelding, Dorado, and writes of her desire to find her parents’ gravesites, Tony decides enough is enough. He has no intention of letting her go without him.
