Silver Street Woman

the long version

Few settlers had the nerve to challenge the raging torrents of the unstoppable Mississippi. But riverman Owen Naylor had courage enough to forge his own destiny - a destiny that was bound to the glory he craved, the woman he desired, and the men he defied: CHAROLETTE DUMAINE: The untouched beauty tested Naylor beyond all endurance, but he would give all he had to possess her. LOUIS REYNAUD: The wealthy Creole stood between Naylor and his heart's desire, and he wouldn't surrender Charlotte without a fight to the death. KENNETH SWAIN: The brawny keeler wanted to rule the river, but as long as Naylor lived, he'd never have a change. Naylor would need a soldier's strength, a shootist's skill, and a gambler's luck to realize his dreams. If he failed, he'd be forever forgotten. If he succeeded, he'll change history.
