Uncovering the past can lead to an unexpected future . . .

Millie Sullivan plays a 1920s-era guest during tours of a palatial estate on the shore of St. Simons Island, Georgia, where her great-grandmother was a real guest ninety years ago. When Millie learns of a lost diary that may contain the location of a hidden treasure on the estate and reveal the identity of her great-grandfather, she sets out to find the truth of her heritage--and the fortune she desperately needs. But it won't be easy.

When security guard Ben Thornton discovers her snooping in the estate's private library, he threatens to have her fired. Still, her story seems too ludicrous to be fiction, and her offer to split the treasure is too tempting to pass up.

Get ready for a romantic escapade through dark halls and dusty corners that will have you holding your breath and sighing with delight.

MY THOUGHTS

Liz Johnson once again creates an endearing story in this opening book of her new series. I have been intrigued by St. Simon's Island, Georgia, for years and loved vicariously visiting this historically rich setting. I was captivated from the opening pages by Millie's dedication to her grandmother and by her search for a lost diary and hidden treasure. Vivid prose brings to life Millie and Ben's clandestine exploration of the mysterious estate, making me glad I was safely ensconced in my chair. Johnson perfectly blends the mysterious and the romantic, the past and the present, creating a tale rife with its own treasure and plenty of sigh-inducing moments. Don't miss the newest release from this gifted author.
