In the process of being revised and expanded.
Pearl la Monte has no time for Ethan Garrett and his judgey ways. Little does she know he actually finds her fascinating, but a stoic demeanour makes her think he holds her in nothing but disdain. Will being trapped in a blizzard with only one bed change her mind?
I mean, probably…
Genre: Old American West (think Deadwood)
Tropes: enemies to lovers, he falls first, pride but not prejudice, only one bed, forced proximity, riches to rags (but not really rags), starting over, don’t touch her, who hurt you, strong silent type

REVIEWS
The below reviews refer to previous edition
A very sexy and sweet historical romance.
– Melissa’s Mochas, Mysteries and More
This reader found Fool’s Gold a delightful read. The spin on Pearl, and Ethan, both coming from a background surrounding their families, and almost hiding a different identity was a nice premise. […] Cassandra Dean spins a story where this reader could share in the ache, and desire, that embraces the characters and brings out true emotion. She creates a story that has a way of making Christmas seem a bit brighter.
Cassandra Dean has a marvelous talent for crafting a story that immediately catches the heart and refuses to let go…The author’s keen understanding of historic detail breathes life into each scene, and best of all, her characters are fascinating, complex, and work terrifically together. This one-sitting story is no exception, and it is impossible to enter the world of the Diamond Saloon without falling in love with Pearl and Ethan, and emerge craving more.
BEHIND THE STORY
What’s in a name?
The nickname for Fool’s Gold was officially WTF 2:The Reckoning, shortened to The Reckoning. Gosh, I thought this was funny! Unfortunately, no one knew what I was talking about so Fool’s Gold ended up becoming The Second Western. Not as funny, but more effective 😉
The Story Behind the Story
Once I’d completed Rough Diamond, I had a hankering to find out just why Pearl and Garrett were so ornery at each other.
