But fate has other plans, entwining their lives through a mysterious family heirloom that unlocks a long-kept secret. But a ruthless enemy lurks in the shadows, willing to silence them forever to keep the past buried.

What readers are saying

"The romance is gentle, and the connection between Hannah and John is tangible. Seeing their story unfold is sweet, but it’s the mystery the two have to unravel that had me unable to place the book down. Each string of the mystery is well done and takes both the reader and the couple onto the next in a captivating manner." - Bee, Goodreads Review.
