Fiction Friday: A Rumored Fortune

Why is money always hidden when you need it most?

So, this book doesn't actually come out until July, but hot dang! I can hardly wait! Joanna Davidson is one of my new favorite authors. She's the kind of writer that makes me want to hang up my hat and quit the biz. Trust me, you're going to want to preorder this bad boy so you can get your mitts on it as soon as possible. A Rumored Fortune is sure to be one of my top reads of the year. Here's a blurb:

Tressa Harlowe's father did not trust banks, but neither did he trust his greedy extended family. He kept his vast fortune hidden somewhere on his estate in the south of England and died suddenly, without telling anyone where he had concealed it. Tressa and her ailing mother are left with a mansion and an immense vineyard and no money to run it. It doesn't take long for a bevy of opportunists to flock to the estate under the guise of offering condolences. Tressa knows what they're really up to. She'll have to work with the rough and rusticated vineyard manager to keep the laborers content without pay and discover the key to finding her father's fortune--before someone else finds it first. 

Award-winning author Joanna Davidson Politano welcomes readers to Trevelyan Castle, home of the poorest heiress in Victorian England, for a treasure hunt they'll not soon forget.
