Connor Pendarvis has a bitter past and a driving ambition -- exposing the harsh working conditions in Miss Sophie Deene's copper mine is only the beginning.

But she swallows her pride for love, defying everyone, never thinking Connor could betray her. And he risks everything he thought he wanted for a love that will last....
