The years between 1784 and 1786 are a period in which beaver fur
is as valuable as gold. Brash young men travel thousands of miles
in fragile canoes into the wild interior of Canada to procure the
pelts that will make them millionaires. Simon McTavish is one of
the most successful fur traders of all-until his obsession for a
beautiful woman takes him off course.
Just before setting sail for North America after a visit to
England, Simon meets Margaret Brownell, a beautiful young
half-caste on her way to Montreal to meet the young British
lieutenant who is her fiancee. By the time the ship reaches the St.
Lawrence River, Simon is desperately in love with Margaret and
willing to sacrifice everything to steal her heart. Margaret is
conflicted, and when her relationship with her betrothed takes an
unexpected turn she immediately suspects conspiracy or foul
play.
Set in Montreal, Grand Portage, and on the rivers and lakes of
the great Canadian North, Margaret ultimately finds the answers she
needs-and comes to find true love-in this historical novel that
mingles murder, deception, love, and chicanery.
