The Treasure Man

The Treasure Man

"Pamela Browning has a gift for creating memorable characters and richly detailed settings. This gem has earned a place on the keeper shelf." Romantic Times, 4½ stars

When Chloe Timberlake agrees to look after the Frangipani Inn, her cousin's bed-and-breakfast, she expected to find the fabulous Florida inn of her youth - not a derelict mansion that could collapse around her. Handyman Ben Derrick is also a shock. The golden boy of her teenage fantasies appears tarnished beyond repair. Tragedy, as Chloe soon learns, hit Ben Derrick so hard that he spent years drowning the pain. Unable to work as a salvage diver, he gave up hope of ever finding a pot of gold. Unexpectedly, Chloe gives him a second chance. Maybe this time he will be able to keep the treasure he's found.

Quirky characters, including the Turtle Lady and a toilet-trained cat, keep the action lively. This book is a spin-off from the popular Breakfast With Santa in which Chloe was a secondary character. She was so interesting that Pamela Browning decided she needed her own book, and The Treasure Man is the happy result.
