Inspired by legends and family history of Cherokee treasure hidden along the winding rapids of Georgia and Tennessee.
Jillian Elliott’s feet were precariously planted in two worlds: the Cherokee nation on the brink of extermination, and the world where he belonged. On her first meeting with the charming and handsome merchant, Jesse Whitmore had set her young heart ablaze. Yet, could she trust him? Or was he just like all the rest? Would he stand beside her while she witnessed her nation ripped apart, or would he join the ranks of the powerful greedy to betray her?
“Intriguing! Pehrson did a great job of pulling the reader into the story as if you were right there watching it all unfold. Also, I could feel every emotion Jillian was feeling. From anxiety to excitement to worry and fear. At times I felt as if my heart was beating just as fast as hers or Jesse’s! Great story. Loved it!”
