*Summary*
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.

Wow, wow, wow, this was such a sweet story! After Liz set her very first series in PEI, I honestly didn't think she could top that. (Huge Anne of Green Gables fan in the house y'all.) She just may have with this amazing dual time period story of love, trust, and intrigue!
Millie Sullivan is a desperate, generous granddaughter that would do anything to help her grandmother. When she finds out that there may be treasure hidden on a historical estate that pertains to her family history, she has to find it. She just never counted on Ben...
Ben is such an intriguing character! He is a reluctant hero...he knows what he should do, but he also really wants to keep his job. Sometimes the reluctant ones also make the best characters. Definitely true in this handsome closed off characters case!
I honestly have never read a historical/contemporary/suspense/romance novel as incredibly well written as this one. Such a wide mix is very hard to execute, but Liz took it over the top with this one. Also...spoiler alert! (This book might have the most swoon-worthy kiss I have read this year hidden deep within it's pages.)
