	Prequel -  A Nose for Secrets -- (Free Download) Some secrets are meant to be dug up. Ranch owner Nathan Parker’s quiet Oregon morning takes an unexpected turn when his golden retriever Rusty unearths a mysterious brass tin beneath the old oak tree. Inside: a hand-drawn map and a note from 1951 that reads, “The Oakwood Garden Club’s treasure hunt begins here.” What starts as a charming game becomes something much more serious when Nathan teams up with librarian Sarah Chen to follow the decades-old clues. Florence Lane, the woman who created this treasure hunt, didn’t just leave town seventy years ago—she vanished without a trace, right after asking too many questions about Oakwood Valley’s founding families. As Nathan and Sarah decode vintage riddles and uncover hidden caches around their small Oregon town, they realize they’re not just treasure hunting. They’re retracing the steps of a woman who stumbled onto a conspiracy that someone was willing to kill to protect. With Rusty’s instincts guiding them and danger lurking in their peaceful community, Nathan and Sarah must decide how far they’re willing to go for the truth. Because in Oakwood Valley, some buried secrets are worth more than gold—and far more dangerous to uncover.
	Book 1 - Shadows Beneath Oakwood When widowed rancher Nathan’s golden retriever Rusty uncovers a hidden research box by an old barn, they stumble into a conspiracy that has shaped their small Oregon town for nearly a century. The box contains evidence of systematic land fraud and murder from the 1920s, research compiled by a brave indigenous woman who died trying to expose the truth. As Nathan teams up with local historian Sarah to investigate, they discover that many of Oakwood Valley’s most respected families built their prosperity on stolen land and buried secrets. But someone will kill to keep the past buried. With threatening messages escalating to violence, Nathan and Sarah must race to expose the criminal network before they become its next victims. A cozy mystery about the power of truth, the courage to confront uncomfortable history, and one very smart dog whose nose for discovery changes everything.
