Denver City sheriff Jay Longer is in town to find Patience and take her back home, but she refuses to leave the mine. Now Patience must somehow convince Jay to help her and work together to strike gold. It will be a good match up between two people who have very stubborn streaks!
Although I enjoyed this story, it was probably my least favorite. Never could wrap myself around these two characters, but did enjoy the orphaned boy. Could be easily read as a stand alone story, even though it is in a series of books, this being the last one.
