The Mine Owner's Rescue
(2025)(The seventh book in the Rich Man Takes a Bride series)
A novel by Zina Abbott
Given a choice of two despicable options, she needs to flee. He struck it rich with his mine, but what about his choice of wife?
To get away from her parents’ pressure to accept marriage to a lecher, Abigail Belcher begins corresponding with prospective husbands living far from Columbus, Ohio. Once her parents threaten a course of action to force her to comply—one her best friend earlier warned could happen—she knows she must act fast. She had planned to break off her correspondence with Theodore Reynolds. He seemed nice enough but a miner who lives in an isolated camp that is miles from the nearest town of any size? However, his is the first offer she receives, so she accepts. The prospect does not excite her, but it preferable to the alternative. She prays she will find a way to be happy—and not leave him regretting he chose her as his wife.
After years of hard work surveying and prospecting, Ted Reynolds finally built up enough capital to develop his hard rock mine, the GoldRey, near Turnback Creek in Tuolumne County’s East Gold Belt country. It has made him a rich man. Although his is only one of many quartz mines, one thing about the region has not changed—a shortage of suitable women from which to select a wife. He just hopes the woman from Columbus, Ohio, he chose from the Matrimonial Gazette can adapt to the still wild and tumble ways of gold country. A bigger concern? Why her rush to join him? Hoping to avoid a female gold digger of the kind often found at the local brothels, he deliberately understated his occupation. Did she find out he is worth more financially than he let on? Is she running from something, or hoping to cover an indiscretion? Hopefully, when it comes to his new wife, his good fortune will hold.
