Filled with high-stakes action and thrills, THE LAST MILE will take you on a whirlwind treasure hunting trip full of intrigue and romance.  The danger is real for Gage and Abby and, if The Devil’s Gold is found, the hardest part will be holding onto it and making it back home without broken bones or hearts.

Abigail Holland is attacked in her recently inherited home.  She knows what the intruders are seeking. Abigail’s missing and presumed dead grandfather, King Farrell, left her a map showing the location of a treasure of gold.  Abby’s intent on finding The Devil’s Gold, but she knows she’ll need help.  She seeks out the services of famous treasure hunter Gage Logan.  Gage is reluctant to take on the job and allow Abby to join the expedition.  A woman died on his last adventure and Gage blames himself.  Abby refuses to be left out and before long, they are heading to the Superstition Mountains to find the gold.  But Abby and Gage are not the only ones seeking the treasure.  There are others who want to find the fortune for themselves.  Some are known to Abby, such as museum curators and family members, and others are unknown such as the Mexican government and cartels.  As Abby and Gage battle brutal weather, kidnapping attempts, snakes, and dangerous extractions, will they survive the ordeal and keep their passionate romance still burning after the mission ends?    

  
THE LAST MILE is non-stop action filled with interesting and entertaining characters.  It takes us from Arizona to Mexico where the Mexican government and cartels are following Abby and Gage’s every move.  There is high peril even after the gold is found.  Will they make it back to the states alive?  Or will someone steal the gold at the last minute?  With several nefarious villains coming after them, Abby and Gage enlist the help of others including Gage’s special forces brother Edge, expedition guide Mateo Morales, and ten-year-old Carlos.  There are a few twists and turns thrown in to keep the momentum going and the ending provides one last dangerous situation and heroic rescue to wrap everything up.  The only negative is Gage can come off a little too proprietorial over Abby, but this did not detract from the overall entertaining aspects of the novel.
