This novel is the compelling fictional story based on a compilation of the many legends of the beautiful, tantalizing, kind, and extraordinary woman who lived and performed in Park County, Colorado, specifically around the year of 1861. The now ghost town it is centered in was once very much the gun-toting, overwhelmingly exciting, overnight sensation of Buckskin Joe's, where a gold strike was discovered in 1859 by Joseph Higginbotham. While much is not known of the incredible woman that they named Silverheels after the dance slippers she then wore, she came to the town and immediately swept everyone off their feet with her great beauty, talent, and extreme generosity. Smallpox tragically hit the then booming area that she became famous in throughout that area and all of Colorado, plus several states around. Many, many fled the area in panic, fear, great hurry, and much distress. But Silverheels stayed on against much advice and at great and incredible personal risk to help and lovingly tend to those stricken with smallpox who could not or did not want to leave. Later, after being stricken with the pox herself in real life, she disappears and was never seen again. But the author has an idea of what happened to her and has created a novel about her based on legend and imagination that includes an incredible and haunting love story, mystery and murder, faith, and the compelling suffering, courage, and deep convictions of survival of those stricken with smallpox during that time and location.
SHE MEANT WHAT SHE SAID Beautiful Silver Jones had been called every name in the book. But now that she owned her own tavern in Buckskin Joe, Colorado, she didn't care what the self-righteous citizens thought of her. She never let a man touch her and she earned her money fair and square. Then one night, handsome Cherokee Evans swaggered up to her bar and completely destroyed the peace she'd made with her life—for the irresistible miner made her yearn for the melting kisses and fiery caresses that Silver had sworn she'd do without forever. HE KNEW WHAT HE WANTED It had been Cherokee's experience that every woman had her price, and that curvaceous Silver Jones couldn't be any exception. Ready to trade all his savings for a night in the vixen's arms, Cherokee invited himself into her bed. That was when he discovered that Silver meant what she said. . . and realized he had lost his heart to the luscious temptress. He wanted to take her that very second, but Cherokee made himself bide his time, certain that soon he'd stroke her satiny limbs and taste her honeyed lips, forever earning the priceless joy of her shimmering QUICKSILVER PASSION
