Synopsis
Catharine Cat Carnahan grew up on the Erie Canal, working side by side with her father on their boat, towing freight from Albany to Buffalo. Gutsy and independent, she holds her own with the roughnecks who work the canal, including the brutal, lascivious Simon Maphis. She has yet to discover her own passionate nature--until she and her father rescue a mysterious stranger who has been beaten by thugs. His head wounds have left him with no memory of his past, but his gold pocket watch identifies him as Morgan Kane. Obviously a gentleman, he gratefully accepts Cat's offer to recuperate aboard the boat, doing odd jobs for his keep. It is Morgan's presence that finally awakens Cat to her own womanhood. And it is Morgan who fulfills her passion one languid evening on the canal. But Cat's new-found love to revulsion when Morgan becomes involved with the lottery company that has ruined the lives of so many canal men, taking their hard-earned cash in exchange for false promises of instant wealth. What she does not know is that Morgan's memory has returned--and that he is on a dangerous mission to expose the corruption of the lottery by working from the inside.
