Publisher's summary

Escaping her shattered past is much more difficult than she imagined.

Julia Schultz has a reputation for being a storyteller, or as others see it, a liar. But with her dark and painful past, stories are all that have kept her company throughout her life. Longing for a fresh start and a second chance to earn real trust, Julia takes a job as a Harvey Girl at the El Tovar Hotel, where she's challenged to be her true self.

Learning the trade of a master jeweler is hard work, but Christopher Miller takes pride in running his family's small shop and earning the respect of the people around him. But when he discovers that he has six weeks to buy his building from his landlord before it is sold, he must find a way to save his grandfather's legacy.

United by the discovery of a legendary treasure, Chris and Julia find hope in each other. But when Julia's past catches up with her, doubt creeps into Chris's heart. Can he really trust her and her stories?

Wonderful!

I loved this book even more than the first in the series. The characters are surprising, flawed, and lovable. This story had so much warmth and love. I can’t wait to be reunited with this El Tovar Hotel family in book 3. I especially love the author’s notes before and after this story. The narrator was awesome! This truly is a gem of a book!

A little too unbelievable to me

I like the first book, but this one was too far-fetched for me. The fact that Julia can find the first treasurer was OK, but to be allowed back in the canyon without a sheriff escort was endangering herself another woman and an experienced hiker was ridiculous. And the fact that they found more treasure that no one else had for hundreds of years was just too unbelievable. I will probably read the next book, but hoping it is more realistic.
