The Paper Gentlemen: A Novel
YUKON TERRITORY, 1897. In the freezing, chaotic heart of the Klondike Gold Rush, greedy men claim the wealth while women are left at the mercy of the sub-zero dark.
When Kaya, a tough local guide, is cheated out of her rich gold discovery by a corrupt Marshal, she refuses to back down. She forms a secret alliance with Clara, a penniless former nurse desperate to pay for her dying sister's medical care, and Maeve, an eighteen-year-old drawing genius escaping her abusive uncle.
Together, they launch a dangerous deception. Because women are legally blocked from owning land, they use Maeve's perfect ink and Clara's sharp wits to forge deeds, inventing a syndicate of wealthy, nonexistent male tycoons to secure and sell the claims.
They call them The Paper Gentlemen.
But as the brutal winter tightens its grip, their golden deception catches fire. With a ruthless Marshal closing in and a vengeful hunter hot on their trail, the women must make riskier, morally gray choices to protect their secret. Can their sisterhood survive the frost, or will their empire of ink become their frozen grave?
