Fortune's Mistress — Paul R. Rothweiler
WESTWARD RAILS: VOLUME II
L. J. Hays' vision of a nation spanned by a ribbon of steel brought him a fortune that surpassed his wildest dreams. But as he carved out his place in history and became the youngest and wealthiest railroad king of his time, he also discovered the price to be paid for the reins of power.
FORTUNE'S MISTRESS is the saga of a raw, untamed country that is turned into the personal empire of a single, extraordinary man. It is a story of intrigue and despair among the titans of an emerging nation. It is, finally, an epic of influence and riches, courage and daring, in an era that made men's dreams larger than life.
But as the brilliant giant of industry forges a financial kingdom of spectacular proportions, he struggles with his love for a beautiful and restless young woman. Caught in a battle that threatens his world, L. J. Hays turns his love into a weapon that may preserve his railroad. And in that gripping climax lies the key to the secret of savage ambition and burning desire. As the flames of vengeance lick at the framework of his kingdom, Hays fights to conquer, not defend, in the world of FORTUNE'S MISTRESS.
