Wounded in the Crimean War and embittered by his fiancée's betrayal, Captain James Tremayne leaves England for America. In the Western Territories of the vast continent he becomes a digger during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush.

Read how two people from worlds apart overcome bitterness and hurt, growing to respect and love each other. And, oh yes, they find a fortune, too!
This is a revision of "His Lucky Charm", first published in 2010 at storiesonline.net, but a little more family-friendly.

Between here and SOL, I run out of fingers, counting how many times I've read this (and the original) story. Love it. Great job on the cover picture, too. Would be a real treat, if you would do something similar for "Double or Nothing". Regards, Joerustyken
Great story
Reviewed it on March 9, 2025
It was a very enjoyable story and deserves its overall rating. There were some scenes that I would have liked more detail, but that is a personal preference. Over all, I was impressed by the lack of typographical errors, that is I saw none. Looking forward to more stories by this author!scalinghammer

Another Update for One of My Favorite Stories
Reviewed it on February 7, 2025
I was very happy when I saw that Peter was updating one of my favorite stories. I gave the original, "His Lucky Charm" a 10-rating on SoL. This time, I was determined to just download the updated chapters as he posted them on-line. That lasted about five minutes. Since I really enjoy his stories (and I'm sure you will, too), and I want to encourage him to write new stories, I purchased this new version so I wouldn't have to wait. If you haven't read his stories, I strongly advise you to look at what is available on-line first, then come back here and purchase them. They are definitely worth reading.I'm much obliged for this kind review! It is a pleasure to publish work for readers like you!
