August Moon and the Gold-Laced Secret

All's fair in love and war, but they never expected their light-hearted bet to turn dark . . .

Seventeen-year-old August Moon was searching for a summer of adventure when she first challenged Landon Jones to a treasure hunting competition. As the friends quickly discover, the long-lost Ruggles treasure is laced with secrets, threats, and betrayal-even a hundred years later.

August barrels ahead, despite all the warnings. Menacing letters, an evil ghost, and contraband charges mean nothing if your eyes are dead set on the prize. Even her long-standing feelings for Landon can't deter her, not when finding the treasure means her own car and its subsequent freedom.

Soon, August is daring to risk it all-her friendships, her safety, her sanity. Will the determined girl go home with everything? Or will the threats make good and leave her with nothing?
