About Treasured
When Wiley Blanchard’s engagement to his long-time sweetheart comes to a fizzling end, he knows he’s ready for something new—an adventure. So when his old friend calls, asking him to come up for the summer to set up and run the bar at the resort he inherited in Jasper Mountain, Colorado, Wiley jumps at the chance.
He heads to the mountains, expecting a change of environment, some fresh air and maybe a fresh perspective.
What he doesn’t expect is that his buddy’s little sister, who he remembers as an awkward tween is suddenly a knockout.
The summer becomes a whole lot more interesting as Wiley gets to know Aubrey again, and as the three of them start to realize that Jasper Mountain holds a wealth of secrets of its own.
Chapter One
Wiley
“It’s not you, it’s me.”
They were the words no one in a serious relationship ever wanted to hear, much less from his fiancée. But if I was honest, they weren’t exactly breaking my heart.
Amberlynn’s face was streaked with tears as we sat on the porch swing at her mother’s house after Sunday dinner, and I took her hand in mine, a deep aching sadness rising inside me at the loss of something I’d known a long time, even though I’d also known for a while it wasn’t right.

“Well, I mean, not when we were little. Like, not when we were toddlers,” I pointed out.
She pulled her hand out of mine and frowned at me. “Doesn’t this make you sad at all? You were my high school sweetheart. And it’s over.” Tears rolled down her pretty face, streaking the makeup around her eyes.
Amber was beautiful—she always had been. She was the ultimate girl’s girl, and maybe that was part of the problem. I wasn’t the most refined of men. I tried, but I’d never really been what she wanted, never really made it to the level of sophistication she seemed to require. And to be honest? It was a relief to be off the hook, even though I’d miss the familiarity of our long-time relationship.
“Amber, honey!” Lottie Tanner appeared on the darkened porch, coming out the screen door and wiping her hands on her apron. “Oh, there you two are. I was beginning to worry you’d snuck back out to the gazebo again for some—”
“Mom!” Amber sniffled.
“Oh
