Ninety years ago, Millie Sullivan's great-grandmother was a
guest at oil tycoon Howard Dawkins' palatial estate on the shore of
St. Simons Island, Georgia. Now, Millie plays a 1920s-era guest
during tours of the same manor. But when her grandmother suggests
that there is a lost diary containing the location of a hidden
treasure on the estate, along with the true identity of Millie's
great-grandfather, Millie sets out to find the truth of her
heritage--and the fortune that might be hers. When security guard
Ben Thornton discovers her snooping in the estate's private
library, he threatens to have her fired. But her story seems almost
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 as two charming characters get caught up in the adventure
of uncovering the past and finding their way to an unexpected
future.
