Ninety years ago, Millie Sullivan’s great-grandmother was a guest at oil tycoon Howard Dawkins’ palatial estate on the shore of St. Simons Island, Georgia. Now, Millie plays a 1920s-era guest during tours of the same manor. But when her grandmother suggests that there is a lost diary containing the location of a hidden treasure on the estate, along with the true identity of Millie’s great-grandfather, Millie sets out to find the truth of her heritage–and the fortune that might be hers. When security guard Ben Thornton discovers her snooping in the estate’s private library, he threatens to have her fired. But her story seems almost too ludicrous to be fiction, and her offer to split the treasure is too tempting to pass up . . .
Get ready for a romantic escapade through dark halls and dusty corners that will have you holding your breath and sighing with delight as two charming characters get caught up in the adventure of uncovering the past and finding their way to an unexpected future.

Book Title: A Sparkle of Silver
Book Author: Liz Johnson
What do you like about this book:
3.5 stars
"She just wanted to be able to say that all was well with her soul."
Except, at the moment, nothing seems to be going well. Millie Sullivan has just been advised that her beloved grandmother needs a higher level of skilled care than the Golden Isles Center can provide; even worse, she has just ninety days to work a virtual miracle. The only ray of hope comes when Grandma Joy unloads a bombshell of family history; Millie's great grandmother wrote about a treasure while she was a guest at the posh Chateau Dawkins on St. Simon's Island; also intimating that her daughter Joy could have been the result of a summer romance. Treasure, plus long-lost rich relatives? It could be the answer to all of Millie's problems. She must find that journal!
Chateau security officer Ben Thornton cannot believe his eyes. A lovely young woman, who is obviously on the Chateau staff, is rummaging through the library, a restricted area to guests as well as employees. He is obliged to turn her in . . . . except that she distracts him long enough to relay the most bizarre story about locating an old journal and looking for hidden treasure. Against his better judgement, Ben becomes the newest (and only) member of Millie's treasure hunters.
Light and likable, "A Sparkle of Silver" tests just how strong love can be!
