Heart of Gold - Lacy Williams

This novella was up for free and looked to be right up my alley.  When I picked it up, I didn't realize it was a novella, but it was a quick read.  This is my second read for new author month.

Opal is returning home to Wyoming with the intentions of getting some money from her father.  Her passion back east is an orphanage and if her father doesn't help her, she is considering marrying a man she doesn't love to get the money she needs.

Charlie works for Opal's father and isn't impressed with her on first appearance.  She immediately asks about gold in a busy area, raising the suspicions of some less than savory characters.  Her poor decision making causes a lot of trouble.

This was a quick, enjoyable read.  Most of the other books written by this author are Love Inspired books.  They appear to be the Christian version of the skinny Harlequin books, just without all the smut.  Most of them are affordable and I am not tracking any of hers at this time.  Heart of Gold is still up for free.  If you've got a couple hours and don't have much to read, it's not a bad way to spend your time.  Good Book!
