Publisher's Synopsis
Emma Taggart is a headstrong determined woman who knows exactly what she wants. That would be Finn Avery-not because he's a multimillionaire with a mountain of gold-literally, but because all her life she's had a crush on him. He also happens to be her best friend's brother.When Emma finds herself in the small town of Dawson City, Yukon, for a second time, she realizes the beauty of the wilderness has grown on her. Granted the place is a far cry from the glamorous city of Chicago. Her job was to film and produce a special story for a prominent Chicago fashion magazine. It seemed a perfect way for her to spend time with Finn.Trouble begins when Finn's best friend and partner passes away. Finn blames himself for the death and turns away from those who care. Emma knows he cares for her, the heated moments spent together spoke the truth, but now she can't seem to break through to him.When a pompous billionaire, Marco Bishop, comes parading into town offering to buy the Charlie Avery Gold Mine, Finn is furious. The man has little respect for the town and its heritage, even worse he has come to fancy Emma and is determined to have her as his next conquest. Not only does Marco want the gold mine, but he's certain he knows where to find diamonds. Marco persuades Emma to take a day trip with him up into the mountains, but by the time she realizes there is more to his plans, she knows she's in terrible trouble.Finn suspects Emma has been taken against her will. He is determined to find her and bring her home. It's another adventure into the brutal wilderness, where the rivers are as wild as the animals they encounter.Along the way Emma, Finn and Groot...the baby wolverine...yes, a baby wolverine, discover some interesting clues cast in the stones. Finn refuses to let anything happen to Emma but wonders if it might be too late. His great-great uncle once wrote-true treasures come from the heart.
