And when you add your roommates sneaking out and your guy best friend sneaking in to your room? A night of movies and junk food until finally passing out at three in the morning. Now, for a more exciting question, what do you get when you add together a drink thrown in your face, getting lost in the museum you're in as you come back from cleaning yourself up, and walking in on heist in progress?

Mine included a secret society that the public, after learning about it a few years before, thought was now a modern myth, searching the globe and stealing back the pieces of a puzzle that we didn't know what information it would hold, and running from another secret society that was bound and determine to stop us no matter what. Oh, and you can't forget John Raymond, who just happened to be the one who kidnapped me. It was technically his fault I was in the middle of this, thrust into a world of secrets.I couldn't complain, though. And no matter what, John couldn't say we didn't make a great heisting team. But when that other secret society came into our crazy, messed-up equation, it added even more danger. But then again, I wanted a little adventure in my life, and I sure as heck got it.

My therapist said that my memories might come back in my dreams, when my subconscious mind was free to be revealed. And so far, she'd been right. Parts of my life were slowly coming back to me - my father's laugh, my mother's smile, my brother Jason's and best friend Drake's annoying overprotectiveness.But there were others that I couldn't explain - a tale of secret societies, puzzle keys, bronze boxes, and break-ins to museums and government buildings around the world. It wasn't until I saw those eyes on a man, who seemed so familiar that it made my heart ache, from across a gallery in the Louvre.A man who introduced himself as John Raymond. And it didn't take me very long to realize that maybe, just maybe, he was the key to everything.

Passport? Check.Book of maps to every country in the world? Check.The world's best treasure hunting dad and the most incredible stepmom? Check.My amazing boyfriend of over a year and a half? Check!The same crazy guy who'd been chasing us on our last exploration and the group of other crazy people he's basically teamed up with? Ugh, check. And the newest member of our group, my baby sister Addy, who's going on her very first treasure hunt at the tender age of four months old? Oh, my gosh, check!Call me, Callie Landon, a complete fool and I'd have to totally agree. As to what type of fool, I'd let you know. I was a fool in love, a fool to do what we did every day, a fool to trust Agents Jenna Hudson and Chris Turner when they said that they had another treasure for us to find, one that's only known by the FBI and the government and hadn't gone public. And just what was that treasure? Well, we didn't know. And neither did they. It was apparently life changing, though, so I was guessing pretty big. Our group was going to be bigger on this exploration, that's for sure. And we were adding another, rather unexpected person: Sophie Barnes, who was Max's ex-girlfriend. This treasure hunt was going to be even more dangerous than our others. It was going to full of sneaking into government facilities in other countries, stealing priceless items that were supposed to be heavily guarded, car chases, near kidnappings...and enough dirty diapers to knock out a hundred men just with the smell. It was going to be one crazy adventure. But then again, it always was in the world of treasure hunting. (Book 3 in the My Life Series)
