This story took me back to Ballarat and the gold rush in 1854, where we meet Indigo Wallace, single woman miner on the goldfields, times are tough and there are plenty of soldiers there to help keep the peace and one of them catches the eye of Indy, Lieutenant Will Marsh, but their first meeting is shall we say different, but this starts a journey filled with danger and ups and downs, make yourself comfortable when you pick this one up because you won’t want to put it down.

Indy works hard on the goldfields at Eureka, never giving an inch to anyone she stands up for herself and anyone that is in need. There is trouble brewing in the fields between the police, army and the miners and Indy seems to be getting caught in the middle and the handsome Will seems to be there to help her and Indy is losing her heart to the man that could be posted elsewhere anytime, is there a future for them?

Will is an orphan and grew up on the tough streets of London, until he joined up with the army, here he has found family and is a true army man moving up the ranks on his own merits and now he is here in Ballarat to protect the gold, but when he meets Indy the sparks fly and he cannot deny the love that is growing, but it takes him a while before he finally acts on that love and looks to the future.

This is such a great story from page one, it is fast paced very interesting, and Indy wow what a heroine man she is feisty, strong, caring and fabulous and just the heroine Will needs, and Will he is strong handsome so caring, these two belong together. MS Adnams has written a story that made me remember what I learnt in school about The Eureka Stockade and what these people went through, beautifully written, fabulous true to life characters and this is a story that I would highly recommend, it was a fabulous read.

5 stars
