Mary Vine

Maya's Gold Mary Vine

Love and Gold. Mystery and Passion. All famous mystery author Stanton Black wanted was to leave the flashbulbs of Hollywood behind. Hiding out in the wilds of northeast Oregon seemed like the perfect way to get over the attempt on his life while researching his work. His latest novel would draw on the history of his ancestors and the lore of gold country. Now, all he needed was a suitable tour guide. Special education teacher Maya Valentine was no tour guide. After the death of her parents, Maya has come home to Salisbury Junction for the summer only to have an ailing friend talk her into escorting Stanton around the area. As a pattern of crime around her and the newfound gold on her property leads to a real-life mystery, her relationship with Stanton turns to thoughts of romance. A romance too impossible to consider. "MAYA'S GOLD is a wonderful read, which I thoroughly enjoyed. This is a sweet love story with a hunky hero, a loveable heroine and a cozy mystery. Mary Vine weaves an interesting tale and beautifully captures small-town life. There's a wonderful balance of suspense, humor and romance. I'll definitely look forward to reading more from this author." Lisa McCaskill Romance Junkies "Mary Vine has assembled a fine cast of tightly-drawn characters in MAYA'S GOLD. The story glows with vividly told episodes that sparkle with humor, suspense and passion. Richard Mack Author of QUAIL SONG and AGAINST A WESTERN SKY
