Liz Johnson returns to talk about her latest novel, A Dazzle of Diamonds, in her popular Georgia Coast Romance Series. The story, set in Savannah, is rooted in history and family pride as the protagonist delves into the past to clear his family’s name from scandal. Before writing the story, Liz traveled to Savannah. She shares a few anecdotes with us as we talk about Sherman’s March, lost Civil War treasure, and the richness of Savannah’s lore.

Liz is a New York Times best-selling author, a Christy finalist, and a two-time Carol Award finalist. For her next series, she’ll be returning to Prince Edward Island–the setting for her previous Prince Edward Island Dream Series–to write about the Ross brothers and a small fishing village called Victoria by the Sea.

A Dazzle of Diamonds

Penelope Hunter loves her job as the events manager at one of Savannah’s premier historic venues–until her ex-fiancé walks into her office with his new bride-to-be. To make matters worse, a scheming social matriarch is intent on seeing Penelope fired, especially if she insists on being seen with Tucker Westbrook.

Since returning from serving two tours in the Middle East, Tucker has built a thriving security company. His work is nearly as stabilizing as his friendship with Penelope, who has been by his side since childhood. But when the lone candidate for county sheriff goads him, Tucker loses his cool and ends up on the ballot–and on the receiving end of a smear campaign claiming the Westbrooks were traitors to the South.

To clear his name, Tucker and Penelope must join forces to find the truth behind a 150-year-old lost treasure. But the more time they spend together, the closer she comes to losing her job–and falling helplessly in love.

A Sparkle of Silver

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.
