When an antique map appears on the doorstep at Heavenly Presents,
Sarah Morgan wonders if it’s a hoax. Or could it really lead to a
rumored treasure hidden near a lakeshore cottage? The remote building
was once used to store ice cut from the lake to provide residents with
refrigeration during the hot summer months. But local folklore claims
that it was also used for smuggling in the nineteenth century. Sarah
finds herself teaming up with Flint Carroway, her handsome forest
ranger
friend, to learn who left the map for Sarah and, of course, if the
treasure rumors are true. But will someone with nefarious motives beat
them to where X marks the spot?
Meanwhile, Sarah is invited to
speak at a prestigious event hosted by her alma mater. She feels
undeserving of the honor and is hesitant to accept for fear of speaking
in front of a crowd. Can Sarah give herself a little latitude and prove
that she is exactly where she belongs?

My Review
This is the second book that I have read in this series, and yes, they can be read alone!
I really enjoyed this faith based read, and kept wondering about the outcome. As the clues dropped I was still not sure, and in the end I did not guess it all.
We are on a journey to find a treasure? What we did find, along with the treasure, was a new friend!
I loved the interaction of this community, and how they are there for one another.
I will be looking for more in this series!
I received this book though Net Galley and the Publisher Guideposts, and was not required to give a positive review.
