Phelan's Gold

An Australian gold-rush adventure novella. Book two in the Downs series.

'She wholly believed that he was a heart-breaker, but that didn't stop her from wanting to be his next victim.'

It's 1880 and gold fever grips the colony, transforming the barely-there town of Gympie into a Mecca overnight. Gorgeous thief and unapologetic ladies' man, Eamon Phelan, and his gang descend upon the town and are soon offered a job too good to refuse. 

Amidst a flood, a daring rescue, the wrath of a spurned heiress and the schemes of an old foe hell-bent on revenge, their best-laid plans are finally derailed and Eamon finds himself imprisoned for a crime that for once, he didn't commit. 

Can his gang do the impossible and find the real culprits before it's too late and claim the tantalising reward on offer, one that could change their lives forever?
