About this ebook
There is more than gold to be found in these hills.
Emily Carver longs to have a home of her own, but instead she endures a transient existence in the gold mining camps of Montana, where her father's hopes for riches lie endlessly buried. Promises of wealth from this wild land have brought only hardship and disappointment, causing Emily to wonder if her own modest dreams will ever see the light of day.
Caeden Thibault, a young geologist working for the government, is a man trying to escape the pain of his past, and the idyllic mountains of Montana serve his purposes well. In the course of his work, he has seen more than his share of starry-eyed gold seekers. So when Emily Carver catches his attention, he is intrigued by the fact that she isn't pinning her hopes on striking it rich.
Will an unexpected discovery come between them or draw them together?

A Treasure Concealed by Tracie Peterson is a historical, Christian romance novel and the first book in the Sapphire Brides series. It is 1895 in Yogo City, Montana. Emily Carver’s mother, Nyola is ill. Emily is doing her best to take care of her, her father (Henry), and their home. Emily just wants a permanent home. She wants to be settled in one place. Her father has kept their family moving her whole life (gold fever and wanderlust) and Emily has no desire to move again. Emily hides her figure under bulky, manly clothes (it would not due to look to feminine in this area). So far Henry has not uncovered any gold on his claim (the area has been played out, but he does not believe it). They only thing he keeps bringing up are pretty blue pebbles. One day Caeden Thibault comes to town. Caeden is a geologist with the government (and running away from his own past and pain). Henry meets Caeden in town and invites him to camp out on their property (Henry is very friendly and generous). Emily is shocked when Caeden comes into their home while she is getting out of the bath. This is the beginning of a tumultuous romance. Can these make it work? What happens when Emily shows Caeden the blue pebbles? You will need to read A Treasure Concealed to find out. A Treasure Concealed is an entertaining Christian, romance novel. A Treasure Concealed is well-written. Tracie Peterson did a wonderful job in describing gold mining life in Montana. I could picture the town, the people, the Carver’s home, and the difficulties these people faced. It has the normal romance elements, but it had something special. The novel focuses on people regaining their faith, that we have a loving God, and leaving a problem in God’s hands (instead of worrying and fretting over an issue). A Treasure Concealed has a lovely ending. I give A Treasure Concealed 4 out of 5 stars (which means I liked it). I will definitely be reading the next book in the Sapphire Brides series. I received a complimentary copy of A Treasure Concealed from NetGalley in exchange for an honest evaluation of the book.
