Publisher Description

A heartwarming tale of courage and young love on a rugged frontier...

After completing their fort, the residents of Heck’s Valley brace for winter. Many speak of spring—and the possibility of staying here and working together to build a town in this breathtaking wilderness.

Heck and Hope don’t know what the future holds, but so long as they are together, they face it with confidence. But life on the frontier is never easy. They have to guard their stock, keep the peace, and prepare defenses for spring, when the Sioux warriors who killed Seeker’s parents will again come raiding.

Meanwhile, Heck must decide what to do about his amazing discovery. Will Heck’s gold bless the Valley… or tear it apart?

Heck’s Gold is a classic Western with a touch of romance. It’s perfect for fans of C.J. Petit and R.O. Lane.
