Truitt's Truth - Paperback

by Julia David (Author)

Come Along for an Unforgettable Journey of Love and Adventure.
With the California Gold Rush of 1849, the toughest man in town, Truitt, is ready to face the truth. Putting his fighting career aside, he needs to get out of Hangtown. The unruly mining town named after the night his father was unjustly hung.

But mudslides and Truitt Emerson do not mix. Now he's stranded with two ladies from back east that his boss expects delivered to Hangtown all in one piece. One lady he would leave behind, the other beauty clutching a silly case has him looking back to watch her every move.

When Cassidy O'Ryan was pulled from her Irish Grandparent's home as a child, her beloved violin became her prized possession. Unwilling to heed her father's wishes by marrying his business colleague, she promises to travel to the gold rush town of Hangtown to wed her cousin she's only met as a child. What she didn't promise was that she wouldn't trade places with her ladies maid and pursue her love of singing and violin in the new state of California. The young women had months to plan the switch. It shouldn't be a problem until her cousin sends Truitt Emerson to pick them up and escort them to Hangtown. Truitt is not only the town boxer, but he's also her cousin's bodyguard. The sudden desire to trust in this handsome stranger is unusual.

Until he burns her beloved violin.
Cassidy now has her own fight to find her truth, her freedom in this rough mining town.
Neither Truitt or Cassidy are prepared for the compelling attraction that's desperate for an honest future.
Can the TRUTH prevail or is it too late?
