Synopsis

For fans of Beth Dutton from the hit series Yellowstone, here is a story of another strong, gutsy, and determined Montana girl next in line for the accession of the family empire.

Butte, Montana, 1905. Parker Copper Mining Company.

For her entire seventeen years, Jules Parker has felt a deep connection to her father’s pitch dark, ear-splittingly loud, and dirty copper mines.

Her father, AJ Parker, is the most prosperous and powerful man in the American West – he built an entire empire, becoming a Copper King with his mines in “the richest hill on earth.”

And while Jules admires all that her father has accomplished, she cannot wait to run the mines, certain that she can bring even more success. The hardest part though… is convincing him.

AJ later announces he may be stepping away from mining, and hires the attractive and refined Ted Jackson—who romances Jules, but who also takes control of Parker Copper.

With Ted in charge, Jules relinquishes her dream of running the mining company, and envisions living a dull and conventional life...until she meets a handsome stranger, Rand Buckley…who might be sabotaging Parker Copper for his own gain.

The dynamic between Jules Parker, her father AJ, and the newcomer Ted Jackson, as well as the intrigue surrounding Rand Buckley, sets the stage for a dramatic story of ambition, love, and betrayal in the Old West.

Countless obstacles would stand in a woman’s way during that time, some of which come up later in the novel. However, Jules’ early actions make her goal implausible.
