Love's Sweet Victory — Georgia M. Shewmake

Young Canace Bowers from Gull Island, Texas, thought she was getting over the terrifying events that had overshadowed her life recently. These events involved buried treasure, fanatical treasure hunters, and great danger to Canace. But now she was calmly writing about her painful experiences in a notebook and getting back to normal. Best of all, Canace met Matt McDaniel, a good-looking vacationer who worked in television. Though there was another young man in Canace's life, she was drawn more and more to Matt -- and she hoped he liked her. Then an unscrupulous journalist got hold of Canace's notebook and had the material printed in a newspaper. And once again the past horrors overshadowed Canace's life -- including her budding romance -- this time with a strange new twist.
