Unexpected Treasure (Stand Alone)

​

​

Allie Quinn is not an explorer, and Jake O'Malley is definitely not her husband.

​

Allie would give anything to make her grandfather's lifelong dream come true. Decades ago, he discovered an ancient civilization, but an earthquake destroyed the evidence. Now, new clues hinting at a "red treasure" lead to a cave in nearby Hauser Mountain, and Allie is invited to be part of the expedition.

​

One big problem. The eccentric landowner only allows married couples to stay – and work – on her property, but Allie has no clue where to find a husband on short notice.

Museum security guard Jake has gotten close to the old man, who reminds him of his own grandfather. This expedition would be a boon for the museum, and it could validate his friend's discovery. On a whim, Jake volunteers to be Allie's husband, securing both their positions on the team.

​

Armed with a legitimate (but unfiled) marriage certificate, cheap rings, and good intentions, Allie and Jake embark on a treasure hunt with a small expert team (of married couples) leading the way.

​

They might find a chest of rubies and gold… or they might find a treasure no one could have expected.
