description: Free spirited Charlotte Mercer who prefers chaps to corsets and lassoes to needlepoint, is outraged at being forced to join polite Victorian society and learn the rules of etiquette she abhors, all in the name of redeeming her family's good name. But when she meets Luke Fanning, he stirs within her uncomfortable yet deliciously strange feelings she cannot understand and which she is determined to fight.  Devastatingly handsome Luke is a charming and notorious seducer. Tales of children out of wedlock and ruined women follow him closer than a shadow. He has sworn that no woman will ever entice him into marriage, but when his world collides with Charlotte's, his resolve weakens for the wild and dark- haired beauty he's determined to possess.  "Heart of Gold" is a standalone Victorian Western Historical Romance. It's the second book in the "Mercers of Montana Series"
