Working on the Transcontinental Railroad promises a fortune—for those who survive. Growing up in 1860s China, Tam Ling Fan has lived a life of comfort. Her father is wealthy enough to provide for his family but unconventional enough to spare Ling Fan from the debilitating foot-binding required of most well-off girls. But Ling Fan’s life is upended when her brother dies of influenza and their father is imprisoned under false accusations. Hoping to earn the money that will secure her father’s release, Ling Fan disguises herself as a boy and takes her brother’s contract to work for the Central Pacific Railroad Company in America. Life on “the Gold Mountain” is grueling and dangerous. To build the railroad that will connect the west coast to the east, Ling Fan and other Chinese laborers lay track and blast tunnels through the treacherous peaks of the Sierra Nevada, facing cave-ins, avalanches, and blizzards—along with hostility from white Americans. When someone threatens to expose Ling Fan’s secret, she must take an even greater risk to save what’s left of her family . . . and to escape the Gold Mountain alive.

Round Mountain was little more than a speck of a town about sixty miles outside of Tonopah, Nevada, when Cal Owens first visited the property in the late 1960s. People had been trying to get gold out of Round Mountain since the early 1900s. Back in the early prospector days you simply pulled out your pick and shovel to dig up a little dirt and then found a bit of water for your pan as you teased those precious gold flakes and nuggets out. The early miners were able to get to the ore at and near the surface. People and companies continued to come and go through the 1950s; they extracted gold, but encountered more problems than their efforts were worth. So what made Cal Owens, an airline flight engineer, and Elwood Dietrich, a mining promoter, think they could successfully mine this property when so many before had given up? The interest was there, the determination was there, a few investors were there, the work ethic was there, and even the gold was there. All that remained was getting the gold out of the ground. Ordrich Gold Reserves Corporation (Ordrich) was born as the group of investors grew larger. Buying the property was one thing, but what to do next? With Elwood Dietrich recovering from a stroke in Arizona, Cal Owens had no other choice than to figure it out as he talked to as many people as possible and learned as much as he could each step of the way. He had the ability to ask questions and listen to experts, a trait that goes a long way in this world. Holding down a full time job and raising four children with his wife Viki did not consume all twenty-four hours in a day, so he thought he still had time to find a way to get the gold out of Round Mountain. How hard could it be? You simply had to get that pretty yellow "stuff" out of the ground and then mill the gold and refine it into gold bars. Cal quickly learned just how difficult it could be. Mining precious ore took knowledge, expertise, deep pockets, and a willingness to dig into those pockets. The Ordrich partners could have lost their investment time and time again if it were not for the tenacity and stubbornness of Cal Owens.

He never wished to abduct her. Can he help her escape? Ling Loi came from Canton, China; Luke McDaniels from Minnesota. Each of them find themselves trapped in situations from which they desperately wish to escape. As two unscrupulous men deny them their freedom and threaten their lives, they cross paths in the raucous gold mining town of Lundy high in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains. Are the differences which separate them too great to overcome? Or, will they join forces to free each other to claim the futures they each desire? This action-packed, sweet romance set in a remote county in eastern California in 1884, although fictional, contains many scenes that were inspired by actual historical events and several historical characters.
