Days of Gold is the second novel in the Edilean Series.   I was curious about this novel since I read Scarlet Nights which is the following novel in the series. Synopsis: The will states that Edilean Talbot has to marry a gentleman of her choice who will inherit her gold.   Her uncle interpreted this statement a little differently and chose two men for her to marry.   Edilean makes a choice which involves the Angus McTern and not the two men.    Angus develops affection for her in their journeys, but can it blossom into love?   What will happen once they make it to America?   Will Edilean be successful there?

My Thoughts: The audiobook is performed by Davina Porter.   It is also a commitment because it is 39 hours.   I literally did nothing but listen to this book on my way to
