A novel by

 
 
Hard Luck Yancey finds bonanza gold directly beneath the grounds of a mining town hospital run by nuns. Soon, every mining mogul in the camp is trying to push the sisters off their property and get at the rich veins of gold. This would force the sisters into makeshift quarters where they can't properly care for the sick and wounded.

Can a shy, lonely prospector down on his luck halt the greedy mining magnates who are stealing from the sisters? And can he find what he wants most--someone to love and share his life?

This novel was originally published as Vengeance Valley. It won a Spur Award for best original paperback in 2005 from Western Writers of America. This Kindle edition restores the author's title, Yancey's Jackpot, but the award-winning story remains the same.
