Beranger is the illegitimate son of a British Duke who decided any fate would be better than living in a household that will never accept him as an equal. He ran away, and eventually made it to the US, and after learning all sorts of skills, found himself as a mine whisperer, with the ability to determine a mine's viability. He's also a notorious "rake", or so the gossip says. His latest client was Emma, the most eligible bachelorette in town, and along with her sisters, are about to inherit a mine. She needs him to make her operation a success in the small town of Eden, Colorado, and that means she can never fall for him. But someone is riling up the town, buying the property out from under the occupants. And Beranger wants Emma to take a chance on him... as a lover... and a husband.
Caroline Fyffe's stories rarely disappoints, even though they are usually epic in scope, with a lot of characters and plots that wanders all over the place, and huge backstories. This is no exception. The way Emma falls for Beranger is gradual, the way it should be done, and there is a bit of a darkest hour with a slight bit of deus ex machina solution, though it fits.
