Buried Treasure by Melinda Barron

Autumn: Yes, my name is Autumn Pumpkin. Obviously, my parents had a sense of humor, but that is where their parenting skills ended. I’ve had to fend for myself for as long as I can remember. I have also had a dream of becoming a journalist. It happened for a while. Now, I’m a treasure hunter for my cousin’s antique store. Sounds like fun, right? It’s not. I thought I hit the jackpot when I purchased a storage space with contents that led me to a possible buried treasure. The only catch is it’s located on a piece of land that also houses a resort which makes me nervous.

Shawn: My partners and I own the Silver Creek Resort. When I was contacted by Autumn Pumpkin, my radar went off. What kind of alias was Autumn Pumpkin? And what buried treasure map was she trying to sell me? What scam was she pulling? Those were my thoughts… until I met her in person. One look at her and I was intrigued – and not about the buried treasure, either.
