TREASURE DARKLY, book 1 of the Treasure Chronicles
This young adult fantasy introduces the Wild West to a steampunk world, mixed together with romance and a touch of the paranormal.

Seventeen-year-old Clark Treasure assumes the drink he stole
off the captain is absinthe…until the chemicals in the liquid give him the
ability to awaken the dead. A great invention for creating perfect soldiers,
yes, but Clark wants to live as a miner, not a slave to the army—or the
deceased. On the run, Clark turns to his estranged tycoon father for help. The
Treasures welcome Clark with open arms, so he jumps at the chance to help them
protect their ranch against Senator Horan, a man who hates anyone more powerful
than he.

And he is not alone. His new found sister, Amethyst, thinks that’s rather
dashing, until Horan kidnaps her, and all she gets is a bullet through her
heart. When Clark brings her back to life, she realizes he’s more than just
street-smart – and he’s not really a Treasure. Amethyst’s boring summer at home
has turned into an adventure on the run, chock full of intrigue, danger, love,
and a mysterious boy named Clark.
