Books like Silver Caress by Charlotte Simms

Orphaned Felicity Howard’s world turns upside down when she disembarks from a train in Silverton, Colorado. Raised in a strict convent in Philadelphia, she is unprepared for the rugged landscape, overtly painted women, and rough‑talking miners she encounters. Among them is Jake McCullough, a strong, handsome loner who has never seen a woman like Felicity—soft, sensuous, and utterly alien in the wild western wilderness. Bound to her by a shared deed to a silver mine, Jake and Felicity’s connection deepens as an irresistible yearning pulls them into a realm of love, adventure, and danger. Their romance becomes a bold exploration of passion and peril in the American frontier, where the stakes of mine life and romantic devotion blur, challenging both to confront the limits of their hearts and survival instincts.
