Faith Carre White

On the train to Denver, a rough-looking man captures Faith Hardwood's attention; the stranger compels her in a way she's never known. When robbers beset the passengers, he comes to her aid. The damage is done however, as she is robbed of every penny-the money she needed to live on. Owen Birch, the stranger, has gambled his way to success, owning several hotels and saloons. Traveling on business, he encounters a young woman, Faith, who takes his breath away. After the robbery, he generously gives her money, because she has lost everything. Two years later, at a faro table one evening, Faith sees the man she met on the train. He too recognizes her. Although fate has been unkind, Faith senses her luck is about to change. However, Owen isn't the sort of man to settle down. He offers to spoil Faith as his mistress, but she refuses, because she's in love, and it's a husband she wants.
