Hidden Treasure

Chinkapin Series Book 1

Hot coffee, cool piano jazz, and one unforgettable painting…


Welcome to the small town of Chinkapin, Georgia, where recently-divorced Laurie Lanton is starting her new life in a warmer climate. To keep her mind off her ex, Laurie joins her friend Mary and the volunteers at the Treasure Chest, a charity thrift shop run by “St. Mark’s Across From the Tasty Chick.”

Anything can happen at the Treasure Chest - and does! Two robberies, a leaky roof, and an invasion of mice give Laurie plenty to think about. But a couple of men have also caught her attention.

Will she pick Chase, the interesting and talented musician and member of St. Mark’s choir? He sure is easy to be with, but there’s something in his past no one wants to talk about. And just when things are heating up between them, Laurie overhears something that throws their future into doubt.

And what about Jeff, the handsome painting instructor at the local arts center?  He seems to have some secrets of his own, including something he’s learned about an old painting found in the thrift shop.

When disaster strikes the Treasure Chest, will Laurie’s '“super power” be enough to save it? And if the thrift shop closes, what will happen to St. Mark’s?
