Melissa's Claim — Victoria Aldridge

The Regency Hotel Arrowtown, New Zealand!
It sounded so fine Melissa couldn't wait to see her cousin David again, and view their joint inheritance. But the reality! To cope with the gold-rush of 1860, Arrowtown was made up of tents, the Regency Hotel a one room shanty … worse David's partner was Lachlan MacGregor, the man who helped Melissa travel to Arrowtown, and had demanded payment in kind! David wanted her to leave but there was truly nothing to go back to. Besides, Melissa wanted a little taste of adventure … and to the devil with Lachlan!
