"The action never stopped .... It was adventure and romance at its best."

"I couldn't put this book down. You'll love it."

 

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?

 

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...."

 

This is book 1 in the Southwest Treasure Hunters series, followed by The Dead Man's Treasure and The Skeleton Canyon Treasure. Each novel stands alone and is complete, with no cliffhangers. This series mixes action and adventure with light romance. The stories explore the Southwest, especially New Mexico.
