The dream she wants
The love she found
Lauren Shepherd has traded her hectic office job for a quiet life working on an elderly friend’s farm. Risking everything to move to Alaska might just be the perfect opportunity for her—if Lauren can convince handsome and fiercely protective Patrick O’Shea that she’s not swindling his grandmother. But when financial troubles threaten her dream, Lauren and Patrick unite in a hunt for a legendary treasure…only to discover something between them more precious than gold.

Excerpt
Patrick went to claim the denim jacket he’d left hanging on
a fence pole near the goats’ pen. Spritz raised up on her back legs to greet
him. He gave her a pat before turning to join Lauren on the path to the
farmhouse.
They passed the old cabin on the way. Lauren smiled. “It
must have been a blast, you and Bonnie searching for treasure together when you
were a kid.”
“It was,” Patrick admitted. “Even then I didn’t really
believe there was treasure, but it was fun to pretend. Gran and Rowan were all
in. And then when we found that pyrite—we thought we were rich. Even though it
didn’t turn out to be real, it was exciting.”
“You were lucky.”
“We were.” Patrick smiled at some memory. “I still am. Gran
and Grandy were the reason I moved to Alaska and went the electrician route
rather than college. My parents weren’t too happy, but I knew this is where I
wanted to be. Besides, they had my sister, Rowan, to follow in their footsteps.
I like my job, and I love the life here.”
“You live in Anchorage?”
“Yes, I have a house—well, a duplex. My renter keeps an eye
on things and mows my lawn, which works out well while I’m on the slope. So how
about you? Did you grow up in Oregon?”
“Not exactly. We moved around a lot.”
“Oh yeah? Me too. My parents were in the diplomatic corps.”
Lauren gave a short laugh that even to her own ears sounded
forced. “My mother was...not.” Not unless she was some sort of ambassador of
short-lived romance. Her mom must have fallen in love with a dozen
different men by the time Lauren graduated from high school, and every time it
meant a different school in a different place.
