All Britt Stanton wants is a little adventure in his life. His plan is to tag along with the Greater Metro Treasure hunters club as they go on the hunt for the Lost Spanish Gold Treasure along the old Sante Fe Trail. His gorgeous girlfriend, Karis McConnell has other ideas, and instead wants Britt to take her to the Sandals resort in Jamaica where she can be in a her bikini, soak up the sun, and sip on Mai Tai's, not be out in the middle of no where Kansas swinging a metal detector around! Not only that, but Britt intends to treasure hunt with his old friend Royce Atwood! If there is anyone that irritates Karis more than Royce, she hasn't met them yet! Britt's search for gold begins with more drama with Karis then the promised prospect of riches.

Britt is determined to follow his personal research and find the Lost Spanish Treasure of the Sante Fe. He is sure he knows the area where it might be found and had set up a private search through a local guide on private land separate from where the Metro members are hunting. With the gold Britt can live the life he has always wanted and finally quit his old job. Britt, however, isn't aware that this adventure is going to take a couple of strange twists along the way and his path to possible riches is strewn with difficulties.

Instead of being just a couple of buddies out being real men and challenging the elements while on the hunt for gold, he finds out Royce had invited a female cousin of his that is an historical anthropologist "unmarried with a great personality" along on the trip with out asking Britt about it! Not only that, but Royce hopes to break Britt and Karis up so he can find someone, like the good professor that will treat Britt right. Unfortunately, Britt assumes he isn't interested in this attempt at match-making.

Britt doesn't want anything to do with the cousin, Professor Edith Monroe, just as soon as he hears Britt describe her. Britt won't give up his quest for riches despite any setbacks. Ahead lies trouble when Britt and Royce lock horns with a rich business man and his flunkies hanging around hoping to let others lead them to the treasure so they can snatch it away for themselves. Adventures of this magnitude seldom goes without risk and danger along the way.

One of those problems happens to be a ghost that haunts the Sante Fe trail and doesn't know at first he's dead. That apparition can lead them to untold wealth or lead them to destruction.

Will romance win the heart of Britt Stanton along the way? Can Britt and Royce and their crew over come all these problems to strike it rich or be left more in debt than before? Will they end up dead? Will someone else find and claim the lost Spanish Gold of the Sante Fe first? Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride.
