GOLD FEVER
Book one of the Treasures of The Heart Series
A stunning new novel by Canadian Romance Author Lawna Mackie
The book is available worldwide in digital and
print across all platforms.
Could it be true? The gold existed. A treasure map alluded to such a find, but for over a century it was rumored a fable, one told by an old crazy man— Samantha (Sam) Avery’s great-great-uncle.
One huge problem existed. Her brother Finn sent her the map and told her to run. Sam knew her big brother was in trouble and she had to help him.
In Dawson City, Yukon, Hunter Gray, outfitter and guide had been hired to do a job. At the airport, pick up a Sam Avery and take him to the old Charlie Avery cabin up the mighty river. What Hunter Gray hadn’t expected was for Sam to be a Samantha, who wore fashion designer shoes, had a sharp tongue and a goddess like appearance—the vast wilderness of the Yukon was no place for somebody like her.
Sam had to learn quickly. How hard could it be to ride a horse and live without running water and restaurants for a week? It didn’t matter, her brother needed her and Sam had to convince the ruggedly handsome man and his wolf… yes…wolf, that she was up to the adventure.
Spending night and day together, Samantha knows the attraction between them is growing quickly. Not only is Samantha determined to rescue her brother, but she must now save her heart from a man who doesn’t believe in love.
I’m a small-town girl with big world dreams. I was born in
Jasper, Alberta, and my parents were outdoor enthusiasts. My dad was an avid
fisherman and I’m certain my mother was Mother Nature.
The love of my life is my husband. He, along with my
animals are my inspiration for everything I write.
I live for romance, and truly believe true love conquers
all. From an early age you could always find me with my nose buried in a
romance novel—that hasn’t changed. I write various forms of romance from
contemporary, paranormal and fantasy to erotica.

A Finn’s Finds cozy mystery
FINN-AGLED
A wooden
box gone bad in this Finn’s Finds cozy mystery by Kristine Raymond
The book is available worldwide in digital and
print across all platforms.
A
secret message hidden inside of an antique wooden box, an unidentified dead
body, and a mother determined to marry her off to the high school crush whom
she hasn’t seen since…well…high school. There’s no doubt about it; Finn
Bartusiak’s life in the seaside town of Port New is about to get interesting.
Coming into possession of a 19th-century, bronze and mahogany writing box under somewhat suspicious circumstances, Finn’s accidental discovery of a coded note leads her and Spencer Dane, bestselling novelist and love of her life (though he doesn’t know it yet), on a quest to unravel the mystery behind the jumble of letters. But they’re not the only ones interested in the cryptic message. There’s a con man on their trail, and he’ll stop at nothing, including murder, to claim the ‘treasure’ for himself.
