Alexander Sisters #1
Scandal in Silver
SHE NEEDED A MAN...
Sabrina Alexander needed man. The silver mine left to her and her four sisters was useless without the strength to mine the silver nuggets. But when she returned from her trip to Boulder City, Colorado, it was with not one but four men in tow--all of them Confederate prisoners she had rescued from death, and in no position to argue with Sabrina's plans.
HE WANTED A WOMAN....
Her sisters' reaction to the fugitives was not what Sabrina might have hoped...as each prisoner cleaned up handsomer than the last. Sabrina herself was not immune to the magnetism of their leader. Captain Quinton Colter. But it was up to Sabrina to set an example and stick to business before pleasure--for as long as she could hold out....

In Sandra Chastain's Scandal in Silver, the first installment in the Alexander sisters historical romance series, you'll be swept away by a beautiful and enchanting love story that came from the heart. During the Civil War, Sabrina's father wanted to mine the silver dream and be rich. But when he died in a cave-in, it left Sabrina and her four sisters alone. They needed someone to help mine the ore and to bury her father with their proper burial. So Sabrina left to go for help and encountered a treasonous massacre of Confederate soldiers and rescued the Misfits who were beaten and held captive. Sabrina rescues them and makes them her prisoners at her mountain home. That's when she met Captain Quinton Colter, who had endured a lot of heartache of his own during the war. He was on a mission to confront a traitor who turned them in as the ultimate scapegoats. Not only did Sabrina fell in love with Colter, so did her sisters with Colter's men, except for her half-sister Raven, who was learning the ropes of her Native American Arapaho heritage with her grandfather. Other than dealing with danger on a war-torn ground, they followed their hearts to start a future in the end and a bright new adventure.

Have you heard of the Legend of the Sabine women? To populate the newly founded city of Rome, Romulus needed women, so after inviting the neighboring Sabine tribe to a festival, the Romans killed the men and abducted the women. The surviving Sabines and King Titus Tatius later returned to Rome to get their women back, but the women refused to leave because they were happy with their new lives.
Bottom line, "Scandal in Silver" is a reverse take on this legend, because it's Sabrina, the oldest daughter of Cullen Alexander, who first saves then takes hostage a group of 4 rebel soldiers.
What's unusual about this book is that it has 4 romantic lines. Every sister, except for Raven who is only 15 at the time, gets her own man. Raven has her own book in the Alexander Sisters series called "Raven and the Cowboy".
Setting: Colorado territory
Time: 1865

Scandal in Silver by Sandra Chastain
I enjoy this story.
The description of the book I am listing below is from the back jacket of the book. I'm adding it because I believe the one on the Goodreads page does not depict this story.
