Vein of Gold — Elaine Camp

Black gold. Oil. Men risked lives and fortunes to find it, but Faith Hutton went them one better: she risked her heart.

Faith quit a good job as a petroleum geologist to join forces with wildcatter Houston Traynor. Houston was a maverick, uninterested in taking, the easy option and leasing his land to an oil company. He wanted the thrill of discovery, and he wanted Faith to be his partner and share that thrill with him. She offered her professional skills and her savings, as well as something more. She offered her love, a love she hoped Houston wouldn't be too proud to accept.
