Orson's Echoes - The Journals of Orson's Folly, #1

More than friends but not quite family. It's complicated. and frustrating. Natalie Carter divides her time between her biological mother and her adoptive parents. But it's really her bio mom's adopted brother-in-law who causes her frustration. Sometimes it seems like he doesn't even see her, and when he does, he treats her like a tag-along little sister. Ricky McGee has enjoyed Natalie's company since they met when she was only thirteen and he sixteen.
Now she's nearly seventeen and he's feeling more than enjoyment in her presence. But their relationship is complicated, and she's so young, and he can think of a hundred reasons why a romantic entanglement is a bad idea. When Natalie wants to visit the old McGee homestead before she leaves from her Thanksgiving visit, she and Ricky end up in a spontaneous treasure hunt that might cost them their lives.
But is it a treasure hunt gone wrong? Or a love hunt gone right?
