"If you enjoy adventure and want to feel like you really know the characters this is the book for you. You get lost in the reading as if you're actually with them going on their crazy adventures!" -Jacquelyn Wiles, Author

"Andrea Hintz is an amazing and talented woman and her book, the first in a series, Tesoro: Secrets of the Hidden Treasure is just as amazing. I read a lot of mystery and adventure books and this book is right on top of my all-time favorites." -Carol Hook, Book Lover

"The first book in the Tesoro series sets up the story very well. Glimpses into the life of a young boy growing up amid pirates really added to my interest in the story." -Kindle Customer

Set in Italian forests, and inspired by people who aren't adventurous but have to "adventure" anyway, we explore the crossroads where past meets present. Two story arcs, two different generations, and one goal…All of the adventurous bedtime stories you ever wanted to hear wrapped into one series…

 

There was once a sixteen-year-old boy named Johnny Higgins who lived hundreds of years ago. He was brave, filled with justice, and had a romantic heart. Like most good people, he was beaten down. And like most good people…he struggled deeply to conquer the battle within. Johnny was a teenager trapped on a pirate ship back in 1693, for his abusive grandfather was the feared captain of The Tesoro Crew…and he was destined to become the next captain…

There once was a twenty-three year old girl named Daphne Bleau who lived in modern times. She was fearful, filled with doubt, yet had extreme intelligence. Like most new adults, she feared for what would happen to her after college. But after getting pulled into the treasure hunt of a lifetime, she slowly became a leader and a fighter. Along the way, she will reunite with her estranged cousin and uncle under extraordinary circumstances, as well as explore a budding romance.

Adventurous and explorative on daring to overcome one's fears. In a world that's filled with uncertainty right now, this story contains a lovely window into another world, as well as a glimmer of timeless hope that caring audiences will devour and crave more of.

Captain Johnny Higgins has directed Daphne Bleau and her team members to go to England to search for the second part of the Tesoro treasures. They discover a journal which contains entries written by the captain himself, who reveals bits and pieces of his strange past and leaves Daphne with a lot of questions about where he came from. But after leaving the journal unattended in their van, the precious book gets stolen by their devious competitors who have made a sudden comeback, and Daphne discovers that the journal itself contains the vital information that was supposed to decode their current clue. They cannot move on without it, and their competitors now have the information they need to get ahead. Mikey no longer wants to search for Tesoro and Daphne is trying to convince him to rejoin their team. Jack seems to be troubled by something, and every time Daphne gets the chance to talk to him about it, they are interrupted. Bailey is now in a relationship with Trent, who decides to surprise her and join in on the search. And to make matters more complicated, an irritable and unpredictable teenager has recently joined their team, and they are obligated to keep him safe amongst the dangers that lie ahead.

It has been a few years since Johnny was tragically forced away from his true love, Delia Laven. His grandfather has died and he is now the captain of the Tesoro crew. The years that he has spent away from Delia have made him cold. He never stopped loving her, and he is determined to make some drastic changes so he can finally find her. And he is going to need Elliot’s help. 

Johnny Higgins has directed Daphne Bleau and the others to the beautiful island of Bora Bora. Though the scenery is mesmerizing, and everyone is excited to be there, Daphne has a feeling that this part of the trip is going to be even more dangerous than their previous travels to Italy and England. 

Along the way, Daphne and the others find out about Mikey’s romantic past with an antique store owner by the name of April Zedler who lives on the island. Daphne cannot help but wonder about the pieces of Mikey’s past that he has not revealed. But things end up taking a wrong turn when Harold and his teammates come back…and now they are after April. During their explorations, a young girl with a mysterious past helps them uncover something very important…Johnny’s lost records and the answers to all of their questions about his past.
