Treasure of the Sun
Before California was a part of the United States, Katherine, a widow from Boston, is living at the De La Sola's. Katherine and Tobias were married for one week, when he was stabbed to death in what looked like a random robbery. Tobias's best friend and ally- Damien, took Katherine in, gave her a job. Damien intended to marry Katherine after her year of mourning , but Katherine has other plans. Damien knows there is more to Tobias's death than a random robbery and it has to do with the rumor of abandoned gold. Before Katherine and Damien can focus on their relationship they have to search for the gold or they will never be safe [Julie-Goodreads]. An epic, sweeping tale of lovers from two vastly different worlds drawn together by danger and desire, Dodd’s Treasure of the Sun brilliantly combines passion and adventure in a breathtaking love story as irresistible as it is unforgettable

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.
Best when you want to settle into a longer reading experience.
Begin with its place in Nonfiction, then notice where the book resists that label.
Read for connection, not completion.
Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.
Three questions to carry with you
- Whose perspective organizes the story, and whose perspective remains outside it?
- Which sources or lived experiences carry the author’s central argument?
- How does the book change the way you understand its larger subject?
