Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide.
Can they get off the mountain alive?
Desperate to find her missing teenage brother, Maya Gallo ventures into the Colorado Rockies expecting rough terrain—not deadly treasure hunters. But when she’s caught in their crosshairs, ruggedly handsome mounted patrolman Alex Trevino comes to her aid. The deputy sheriff knows what these bandits are capable of, so getting Maya—and her brother—home safely may be his hardest mission yet

“Come out with your hands up.”
Deputy Alex Trevino.
This wasn’t her attacker. This was her rescuer. God had answered her prayers. Though why He’d send Alex, of all people, she couldn’t fathom.
Shaking her head at her own idiotic thoughts—who was she to complain about how God answered her prayer?—Maya slowly rose and stepped out from behind the bushes. “Alex.”
He quickly holstered his drawn weapon, for which she was thankful.
He hurried to her side. “Maya? Are you okay?” He gripped her shoulders, visually searching her, his gaze warm and concerned.
She let go of the stick she’d expected to use as a weapon and hugged her arms around her middle as a measure of relief ebbed through her veins. She could only imagine how frightful she must look considering her trek through the woods. And why that should even matter she didn’t know. The only thing that mattered was her brother. “I’m fine. But Brady...” She swallowed back the bile of fear burning her throat.
Thank you for joining Maya and Alex on this journey to treasure and love. Both of these characters had to learn to find it within themselves to let down their walls and allow love to be the only treasure worth discovering.
The inspiration for the treasure hunt came from an internet article I read about a real-life cache of gold and jewels buried somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. I was intrigued by the whole idea of hiding a fortune and seeing what would happen. Who would find it? How would they find it? And what would someone be willing to do in order to find it?
I hope to write more books featuring the men and women of the Bristle County Sheriff’s Mounted Patrol. I’m fascinated by the lore and the mystique of deputies and volunteers on horseback. For this series, I couldn’t resist setting my stories in the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. There’s something so very authentic about the rugged mountains and the people who live there.
I hope you enjoyed this first book, and until we meet again in the pages of another book, may God bless you greatly.
