The Copper King's Daughter - Paperback

by Rebecca Jasmine (Author)

Two miners dead. A fiery explosion at the largest mine. It's clear that someone is out to ruin Parker Copper Mining Company...but it's unclear who Jules should trust.

Butte, Montana, 1905. Parker Copper Mining Company.

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

Her father, AJ Parker, the most prosperous and powerful man in the American West, first settled in Butte after discovering gold, then silver. But because of the quick rise of telephones and the wiring of the modern world, the need for copper wire exploded, and what he found deep in his mines turned out to be the most valuable of all-copper iron ore. He built an entire empire, becoming a Copper King with his mines in "the richest hill on earth."

Jules admires her father's success, but she dreams of running the mines herself-convinced she can make them even greater. The hardest part, though, is convincing him.

When AJ announces he may leave mining to run for the Montana State Senate, he hires the charming and refined Ted Jackson to manage the company. Ted quickly wins Jules's affection-and takes control of Parker Copper.

As Jules gives up her dream of leading the mines, she resigns herself to a more conventional life, until she meets a handsome stranger, Rand Buckley...who might be sabotaging Parker Copper for his own gain.

Inspired by real events, Jules gets caught up in a riot at the horse races, gets swept away by a flash flood in the red-light district, befriends a strong woman who would eventually be the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress, and endures a fiery explosion at Parker Copper's largest mine that may put an end to the company forever. But can anything-or anyone-stand in the way of Jules Parker's fight to save what's hers?
