When Denali Dahlgren's posh California dream goes bust, she feels like she's hit rock bottom. But just as her prospects run dry, she strikes a claim of unexpected inheritance—an entire Alaskan town left to her by an uncle she never knew existed.

​

Trading palm trees for spruce, she arrives at a ghost town that once glittered with gold rush glory. But instead of nuggets, Denali finds an unfinished café to run, a treasury of off-kilter townsfolk, and the attention of a dashing bush pilot who may just be her heart's jackpot.

​

Yet, when she learns her uncle didn’t die of natural causes, Denali shifts from gold town proprietor to determined detective. It's a rush against time as she mines for clues, hoping to unmask a killer before she's the next one going, going, gold...gone!
