Shannon Dysart is determined to find a fabled city of gold
in this wild, Wild West. Her father swore on his death bed
that it existed. She just wants to prove his claim and clear
his reputation as a scientist and scholar. Being left on a
cliff-dwelling over a hundred feet up in the air with no way
down is not helping her cause. Her group of hired help
abandoned her, shot the rungs out of her only ladder, and
took her father's map, running off to seek the treasure for
themselves.
Gabe Lasley is on his way to visit one of his seven brothers
when he hears a cry for help. It takes a little time to
realize where the screams are coming from. He finds Shannon
on the cliff, but can only get part of the way up to her.
With a little creative thinking and using his roping skills,
Gabe manages to get Shannon down, though at one point she is
dangling over the edge of the cliff from his rope. The two
set off for a Navajo village to regroup and reassess her
mission.
Meanwhile, Back east in St. Louis, Shannon's mother is
prodding Shannon's "intended," Buckstone (Bucky) Shaw, to go
west and find Shannon, talk some sense into her, bring her
back home and marry her. Both Bucky's and Shannon's mothers
have been planning this high society wedding for years.
Bucky sets off with a scout and his entourage of hired help.
When Gabe sends a telegraph to his brother Abe, telling him
he will be late in arriving, Abe sets off with his own
search party looking for Gabe and this mysterious woman he
is helping. As these four groups of treasurer seekers
converge on the Grand Canyon, each takes a different path
down into its depths, some in search of gold, some in
pursuit of other searchers and some in search of the real
treasures in life. Navigating the canyon is a treacherous
journey, but the view is a treasure all its own.
DEEP TROUBLE is an inspirational, historical gem about
seeking worldly treasure and finding what is really
important in life. There are some humorous moments and some
awkward predicaments in which Shannon and Gabe find
themselves, given the Indian culture and proper etiquette
for the times. Mary Connealy has given us another romantic
western adventure in her Wild West Weddings series. Don't
