One Troy Ounce

Twenty-three-year-old Anna Wexler never spent a moment thinking about her father, Robert Gerhart, until she discovered she would likely be the beneficiary of his estate. Until then, she hadn't given him a single thought. Robert had left Anna's mother when she was only three. Since then, he had become a very wealthy man from mining silver in the remote hills of Nevada. He amassed a substantial fortune until he lost everything in the silver market crash… or so his ex-wife thought. Robert had just enough time to secretly stash away millions and he planned to enjoy life with wife number five when the silver market recovered. But instead, he dropped dead and now the silver is Anna's problem.
