Sara Fleetwood has a feeling. And if there's one thing Sarah does, it's listen to her intuition. This time it's telling her that Gideon Trace is not only the right man for the job (finding her ancestress's hidden treasure), he's the right man for her. Gideon's not so sure.
Buried treasure, quirky cats, and of course, two characters meant for one another - light, fluffy, entertainment for a rainy afternoon.

telegrams! sheesh. 4/10.
Ein süsses, enorm herzerwärmendes Buch. Hatte selten so viel Spass an einem Krentz. Sarah ist impulsiv und voller Träume, und überfällt den armen Gideon auf überwältigende Weise. Ein Schmunzelfest.
