Gold Rush (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996407514)

An ancient map discovered by illegal gold miners.

The archeologist they kidnapped to decipher it.

A treasure hunt that will change their lives.

A stagnant career lures chronic-pushover Simon Talt to Brazil in search of a fresh start. Instead, he's shoved into a Jeep bound for the Amazon and shown photographs of mysterious carvings that may point the way to a lost treasure.

Xayane Merces only wanted to prove herself to her brother, the ruthless operator of an illegal gold mine. But Simon is nothing like she expected. He's smart, endearing, and just as determined to uncover the carvings' secrets as she is. Rather than control him, Xayane joins him.

What begins as a kidnapping becomes a treasure hunt across Brazil-and a desperate race against Xayane's brother and the men hunting them both.
