A legendary treasure hunt in the dramatic - and deadly - New Mexico desert....
The lost Victorio Peak treasure is the stuff of legends-a heretic Spanish priest's gold mine, made richer by the spoils of bandits and an Apache raider.
When Erin, a quiet history professor, uncovers a clue that may pinpoint the lost treasure cave, she prepares for adventure. But when a hit and run driver nearly kills her, she realizes she's not the only one after the treasure. And is Drew, the handsome helicopter pilot who found her bleeding in a ditch, really a hero, or one of the enemy?
Erin isn't sure she can trust Drew with her heart, but she'll need his help to track down the treasure. She heads into the New Mexico wilderness with her brainy best friend Camie and a feisty orange cat. The wilderness holds its own dangers, from wild animals to sudden storms. Plus, the sinister men hunting Erin are determined to follow her all the way to the treasure, no matter where the twisted trail leads. Erin won't give up an important historical find without a fight, but is she ready to risk her life-and her heart?
Just how far will Erin go to find the treasure and discover what she's really made of?
The story has it all-action, romance, danger, intrigue, lost treasure, not to mention a sizzling relationship....
