Deep Trouble — Mary Connealy

Gabe Lasley has left his ranch in Wyoming because of his strong feelings for a married woman. He finds Shannon Dysart stranded in a mountaintop cave and saves her. She is on a quest to prove her father's research isn't the work of a madman, that he really did find a treasure in the wild west.

With trouble on their back trail from the villains who still want Shannon's map, the dream of gold coloring every decision Shannon makes, and Gabe's surprising need to protect her, they sets out to find a city of gold. Along the way they find that true treasure is rooted in love. And that was within their reach all along.
