Forever Hidden (The Treasures of Nome Book #1) Kindle Edition
John Roselli arrives in Nome looking for a steady, consistent job. He has grown tired of the promises of getting rich quick and just wants an honest job with honest pay. His grandfather once knew a Chuck Bondrant, and so when John arrives at the dairy, he's quickly offered a job--and a path to more if he wants it.
Havyn's plan for helping out the family means using her beautiful singing voice and her sisters' musical talent at a local roadhouse. They're an immediate hit, and it looks like her plan will be a success. But the spotlight brings with it dangerous eyes that covet Havyn and are jealous as she and John grow ever closer. But will they realize the peril before it's too late?

From the Back Cover
Than They Ever Guessed
For Havyn Powell, growing up on her grandfather Chuck Bundrant's dairy outside the 1904 gold-rush boomtown of Nome, Alaska, offered all she needed. She had the love of her mother, two sisters, and grandfather. But now, at twenty-three, Havyn realizes the stability of her life may soon vanish. Havyn is determined to find a way to keep the family together, but her grandfather's health is declining and everyone seems to be holding secrets from one another, including the handsome, dark-haired stranger who recently arrived.
John Roselli heads to Nome on a mission. On his deathbed, John's grandfather asked him to deliver a box to Chuck Bundrant. This is no small task and will cost everything he has, but John is determined to honor his grandfather's wishes. But keeping his promise will forever change his life.
When tragedy strikes, Havyn and her sisters have a plan of using their beautiful voices and musical talents to perform and earn money at a local roadhouse. They're an immediate hit, and it looks like the plan will save their family. But the spotlight brings with it danger, even as it serves to draw Hayvn and John ever closer. But will they realize the peril before it's too late? Will the secrets that have been hidden for so long prove to destroy their happiness?

I love and adore your stories, Alaska anything gets my attention. This amazing story of love, loss ,hope took me on an amazing journey. I'm always in your stories, especially Alaska ( my list of places to visit). About 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with Lyme disease and have now begun suffering with chronic full body pain, migraines, eye disease, joint replacement. Enough, that's to let you know the joy of going to Nome with John Roselli and meeting Chuck, Melissa ( why did she need to die), Whitney, Hayvn sweet Masdyn . My eyes get cloudy, and my device spells words wrong, forgive me. Chuck Bundrant, a strong loving man, gave is all for his daughter Melissa and then the lovely three redhead granddaughters. Melissa fell in love with and married Christopher Powell, a gambler, drunk and womanizer. When Chuck found out what was going on, he paid and paid Chris's debts, hid his secrets until he discovered Chris had started another life and family. After one of Christ's drunken brothel or saloon fights he and Chuck thought it best he was declared dead. Chuck a wealthy gold miner, sold his mine in Cripple Creek, Colorado and moved Melissa and the girls to Nome Alaska. John Roselli shows up on an errand from his grandfather Gussippe Roselli ( Nanno), to Chuck Bundrant. John arrives in muddy town, full of bad people like Judas Reynolds( in sheep clothing) with little money, was given a Little for helping with the dogs he traveled on to get to Nome, because of the time too much ice for ships. John a kind loving young man of God has his few coins stolen by a young woman from a brothel begging! Not until later did he realize what she had done. He goes to mission and meet Dr. Gordon, who sends him to Chuck Bundrant's Dairy farm, turns out he is same person his grandfather had sent him to see! John arrives at the farm and before entering the barn heard someone praying and asking for forgiveness. Okay, I have a habit of telling too much. Chuck is stricken with Apoplexy, and Melissa's Asthma and added Whooping cough land them both bedridden. Ladies, cannot wait for what's next, sadly Melissa's illness takes her life, same day Christopher Powell returns from death. The bright event Havyn and John got married. Thank you so much for these wonderful God filled stories. I should be doing, the audible but I love reading your words! Stay safe! I read some many books last year ( 2020, they make me soar). May God continue to bless and keep you both, I had put this story off long enough!
I love the mystery of the secrets and how everything is interwoven. I love the fact that not all the secrets are revealed in the end of this book and I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series. The emphasis on in the importance of family is great as well as love of family leading to secrets. A fabulous book that I would highly recommend.
Loves this and look forward the rest of this set.
Summary: Havyn Powell loves the dairy farm her family owns outside of Nome, Alaska. They have a good life, and a close-knit family.
But, her grandfather’s sudden health issues have thrown a wrench into everything. Without his guidance and knowledge, Havyn and her sisters have no idea how their grandfather managed the farm, or even how he paid the workers. Bills are piling up, and if Havyn doesn’t come up with a solution fast, the farm may not be able to stay in business.
John Roselli made a promise to his grandfather to deliver a package, and he intends to keep that promise-even if it means spending his last dime to get to Nome to do it. He arrives penniless, and in need of a job. Agreeing to help out at the dairy farm, John does his best to help the Powells stay afloat, but has he taken on more than he can handle?
Will Havyn and John be able to do enough to save the family farm? Will someone from town thwart their efforts? And what does John really know of the secrets surrounding the Powell family’s past?
My Thoughts: This book was just OK for me. It is a bit sad in places, but I liked Havyn’s creativity in coming up with ways to help her family-it made for some fun and interesting plot twists. It was also really interesting to read about the mystery surrounding the Powells and their past.
I don’t know that I would read it again, as it just didn’t hit the sweet spot for me, but it was interesting, and these authors always do a wonderful job storytelling.
I would like to thank Bethany House for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my review. Thank you.
