Smart romance with an Indiana Jones feel.</p><p>Twists turns edge-of-your-seat moments and breathless ones too and not just because of the romance. I started reading and could not stop. I read the story all in one sitting. I found the main characters to be credible and engaging. The antagonists were written appropriately creepy. The ending was fantastic I loved the planning and the thrilling way it played out.</p><p> </p><p>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.</p><p>When Erin a quiet history professor uncovers a clue that may pinpoint the lost treasure cave she prepares for adventure.

The camaraderie between the main character and her sister-in-crime starts out on page one and takes off running!
