Hearts of Gold: Books 1-3
(2025)(A book in the Hearts of Gold series)
An omnibus of novels by Ariella Talix
Hearts of Gold combines The Golden Rush, Fiddle and Fire, and Casting Vows under one cover.
The Golden Rush:
Exhausted, starving, and fretting about her ailing father, Adeline Hart disembarked in San Francisco after a harrowing sea voyage. The last thing she needed was immediate marriage proposals from multiple men. Women, at that time, were as scarce as hen’s teeth.
Jasper Langley, handsome and dark with sadness in his eyes, and Royal Dawson, who personified sunshine with his golden glow, provided the comfort that Adeline needed. Everyone else was rushing off to the gold fields or trying to carry her away.
Jasper and Royal forged a special bond during their treacherous overland journey to California. They arrived before gold was discovered. Luck and hard work made them extremely wealthy men.
San Francisco was lawless and wild. The ramshackle shanty town quickly became the fastest-growing city in North America. Tremendous opportunities existed for ambitious people to succeed. The unscrupulous also flourished.
There were times when it was necessary to be reckless and daring just to survive—for the good as well as the wicked.
No one was safe, including Adeline.
This dramatic MMF romance is a steamy love story filled with danger and suspense.
Fiddle and Fire:
In early San Francisco, women are scarce, and attitudes are accepting of just about anything.
Amidst this laissez-faire lifestyle, Suzette de Massey blows into the city like wildfire.
Isaac Stark and Walter James are instantly drawn to the talented French beauty. Opposite in many ways, the two of them have been the best of friends for years. They owe their lives to one another, and their mutual affection runs deep.
Suzette is torn between Walter, whom she thinks is a gentleman, and Isaac, whom she takes to be a roughneck. She has a lot to learn, but she knows what excites her. Men. Together.
Suzette kindles the fire that has smoldered between Isaac and Walter for years, and each of them together makes a combustible, passionate threesome.
She is a woman with secrets.
Unfortunately, when Suzette’s dark past reappears to haunt her, no one is safe.
This MMF romance, intended for mature readers, sizzles with passion and will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Casting Vows:
Casting Vows is a story of lost love, found love, and misunderstood love. Three people with hearts of gold need to find their way through seemingly insurmountable challenges.
Danger strikes from all directions. Nothing is as it seems.
Nicolo Stark-James loves with his whole heart, but he finds there are despicable people who are willing to ruin everything.
Matty Remington needs to be safe, but he’s trapped. He has strong faith and a heart made for loving, but he needs to reconcile his love for God with his personal desires.
Eden Godwin might be the one to hold them all together, but her future isn’t her own to decide. She is pitted between love and saving her family from ruin.
Obligations are questioned, and promises are made that may not be kept. The duty to family, faith in God, and devotion to a lover seem to war with one another in this stunning and steamy MMF romance set in Los Angeles in the 1880s.
