Legends of Gold
Book 2 of the Golden State Treasure series
Tilda Muirhead becomes a teacher at an orphanage after joining two mischievous brothers whose grandfather's map has sent them across the country in search of treasure. A stranger claiming to be Tilda's long-lost brother appears with suspicious timing, making the hunt suddenly more dangerous. Rancher Josh Hart offers protection and joins the search as the clues point toward secrets someone else wants to reach first. The second Golden State Treasure novel mixes Western adventure, found family, hidden gold, romance, and Connealy's characteristic humor.
