The Silver Baron's Wife
Author: Donna Baier Stein

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
The Silver Baron's Wife traces the rags-to-riches-to-rags life of Colorado's Baby Doe Tabor (Lizzie). This fascinating heroine worked in the silver mines and had two scandalous marriages, one to a philandering opium addict and one to a Senator and silver baron worth $24 million in the late 19th century. A divorcee shunned by Denver society, Lizzie raised two daughters in a villa where 100 peacocks roamed the lawns, entertained Sarah Bernhardt when the actress performed at Tabor's Opera House, and after her second husband's death, moved to a one-room shack at the Matchless Mine in Leadville. She lived the last 35 years of her life there, writing down thousands of her dreams and noting visitations of spirits on her calendar. Hers is the tale of a fiercely independent woman who bucked all social expectations by working where 19thcentury women didn't work, becoming the key figure in one of the West's most scandalous love triangles, and, after a devastating stock market crash destroyed Tabor's vast fortune, living in eccentric isolation at the Matchless Mine. An earlier version of this novel won the PEN/New England Discovery Award in Fiction."

"History and romance perfectly blended." - Kathe Robin, RT Book Reviews There's a new Sheriff in Nottingham . . . A baron trapped by honor, a lady bound by loyalty, both caught in a trap set by a ruthless king . . . Stripped of his lands and title for another man's lie, Tré Devaux, Third Baron of Brayeton, is given a chance to win it all back if he accepts the post as High Sheriff of Nottingham. King John decrees his lands will be returned if Tré captures the Saxon outlaws haunting Sherwood Forest. Determined to regain his ancestral home, Tré vows to let no one thwart him, but he had not anticipated Lady Jane Neville, a captivating widow intent upon protecting the very outlaws he pursues. Jane may be the widow of a Norman, but she is Saxon by birth and loyalty--and niece to the famed outlaw, Robin Hood. While her uncle may be gone, she cannot bear to see harm fall upon innocent Saxon villagers or the men Robin left behind. Jane didn't expect to find honor in the new sheriff, nor did she dream she would lose her heart to him. Passion flares between the baron and the lady, sweeping them into danger where they must choose between love and life . . . Virginia Brown has written more than fifty historical and contemporary romance novels.
