Rory O'Grady knows there's a better future for her and her
father than dancing in a saloon for two-bits a dance. She
dreams of settling down with her "knight" in a cozy little
house with a white picket fence.
Garth Fraser has survived the war and is determined to find
his favorite uncle's lost gold mine. He stops in a saloon
on his way west and meets the beautiful, stubborn and
feisty woman of his dreams -- Rory.
Even though Garth has all the qualities Rory has always
hoped and dreamed for in a husband, her father ruins Rory's
hope for a future with Garth when he steals Garth's map of
the gold mine. The three of them end up in the town of
Hope, looking for the mine, discovering danger in the
mountains. It's not long before losing one's heart and
finding the treasures that love brings is the greatest
discovery of all.
Thank you, Ms. Leigh for continuing to write about the
American West. It's been so much fun reading about the
Fraser brothers and the women who brought them to their
knees. HIS BOOTS UNDER HER BED is a touching story with
equal parts laughter and adventure -- pure bliss. Ms. Leigh
reveals our hero and heroine's inner dreams as we slowly
become enchanted. This reads like a beautiful fairy tale
you're sorry to see end.
California dancehall girl Rory O’Grady dreams of buying a
home of her own, but she can’t help feeling guilty when her
con-artist father steals the map to a goldmine from a
handsome stranger. And when Garth Fraser discovers the
theft and follows Rory and her father to the mine, he makes
it plain that he’s not the type of man to give up on
anything he wants—whether it’s a windfall or a woman.
The last thing Garth wants to do is team up with the
spirited beauty who duped him, but it’s the only chance
either has to strike gold. Their differences prove no match
for the heated desire driving them together, but neither
dares to trust in their passion. Only with a menacing enemy
poised to strike will Garth discover how far he’s willing
to go to protect a love more precious than all the gold in
California.
