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 . . .
This is Millie's search for her ancestors and in the process she learns there is a treasure involved. Ben discovers her trying to find a journal that was her great grandmothers. Millie convinces him to help her find the treasure for half of it. It appears that Millie and Ben are both obsessed with money. But as you read further, you discover the reasons they want it so badly.
I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more mystery involved with the story. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the book. It was a good light read romance story. I would recommend this book.
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
