Books like All in good time by Maureen Lang
Set in turbulent 1887 Colorado, Dessa Caldwell dreams of establishing a sanctuary for ex‑prostitutes in Denver’s harshest district. After depleting charitable donations, she must secure a loan from the city’s most powerful financial institution. Henry Hawkins, the town’s prominent banker, harbors a dark secret: the fortunes that built his empire originally came from the robbery of three Wells Fargo coach convoys. Faced with a moral quandary and the threat of exposure, Henry fortifies his life against the instincts that once drove him to crime. Dessa’s pursuit intertwines with Hawkins’s hidden past as each makes sacrifices to protect their future.
Themes of redemption, secrecy, and the intersection of morality and finance weave through this historical narrative, highlighting the contrasting lives of prostitutes and bankers in a booming frontier city.
