Jenny Wheeler is convinced there is no better time than now to be a woman, but if she was faced with making a second choice it would be 1860’s California – the setting for her historical mystery series Of Gold & Blood.
Nearly twenty years after the 1849 Gold Rush brought thousands upon thousands of (mainly) men into California on the greatest adventure of their lives, the energy, the thirst for excitement remained, but the rough frontier had become a maritime colony; “urban, cosmopolitan, and resembling nothing else in the Far West,” (Kevin Starr, Americans and the California Dream, 1850 – 1915. Oxford University Press.) A place where women had the chance to pursue their dreams with more freedom than (arguably) anywhere else in the civilized world.
Jenny loves the stories that came to be spun from the region that was “the cutting edge of the American dream,” (Kevin Starr again) and she’s busily creating those stories with as much passion as those ’49ers chased after gold nuggets!

A woman silenced by fear. A man falsely accused of murder. In a world where the past never dies, can Madeleine and Caleb uncover the truth before it's too late?
Rural Sacramento, 1870. Haunted by a violent past, French teacher Madeleine Laurent believes she's found sanctuary in rural California—until her supposedly dead husband resurfaces, shattering her illusion of safety.
Rancher Caleb Stewart dreams of courting his enchanting neighbor but his hopes of a tranquil family life are crushed when he's accused of a vicious double murder. Blackmailed into silence, Madeleine watches in anguish as the honorable Scottish-Spanish horseman is framed for a heinous crime.

Torn between protecting Caleb and fear for her own life, Madeleine faces an impossible choice. In a world where the past never dies, will she risk her own life by telling what she knows, or stay silent and watch Caleb go to the gallows?
Can Madeleine and Caleb unmask the true culprit and build a new future together? Or will sinister forces tear them apart forever?
