Max Lawson doesn't belong here. The California surf boy has no business being up Spruce Mountain or anywhere near The Last Resort Motel. There can only be one reason he's hanging around, to search one of the old mines in hopes of striking it rich. And as soon as he's done, he'll be gone fast enough to make my head spin. Out here, a girl needs to take advantage of any opportunity for a little fun, but it can never be more. I just need to remind myself of that.Aurora Clayton is the last thing I expect to find at The Last Resort Motel. What in the world is a girl like this doing in the middle of nowhere, Nevada? My plan is to search the mine and get back to California. I never expect to find something here even more precious than ore. But someone else is after what's down that mine shaft. And I'll do everything in my power to protect what I've found, including Aurora.
