Fool's Gold — Julie Harris

First published as “Anna's Gold” by Arrow Books. “A love story that won't disappoint.” Australia, 1867 With baby in arms, Anna follows her husband into their new beginning -- a hot, dusty gold mining camp called Bitter Creek. Always dreaming of the hat shop she will have one day, Anna finds new friends in this no-man's land: a Chinese girl, an old American prospector whose son, Sam, often visits. There's a spark, but she is married and Sam's a wanted man with just cause to hate the district's sergeant. When the murderous greed of the local police unleashes a torrent of violence upon the unsuspecting miners, the only survivors, Anna and her baby, are rescued by the outlaw, who soon discovers he has been accused of yet another crime he did not commit.
