Description
Family secrets can be the most dangerous of all. The journey to find the truth and protect her family will have Carly delving deep into the lost treasures of Eastern Europe--if she can survive that long.
Theres only one thing more dangerous than family secrets.
Since her police-officer husband Erics mysterious murder, Carly Harris has been struggling to support herself and their infant son. Her career as an antique dealer isnt sustainable, nor is her dream of becoming a novelist. So when her grandmother proposes she and her two sisters restore the familys large Beaufort home and turn it into a bed-and-breakfast, she immediately gets to work clearing out the house. In the process, she uncovers a family secret that Eric kept hidden. And an heirloom that the wrong person wouldnt hesitate to kill for.
Homicide detective Lucas Bennet isnt his neighbors biggest fan, not since she broke his brothers heart years ago. But when Carly turns to Lucas for help, believing shes found a lost Fabergé egg that would be worth millions and that could put her familys lives in danger, he cant help but get involved. Soon, theyre entangled in a mystery with threads that lead all the way to the Russian mafia. Lucas has gotten in deep, and while he trusts his ability to keep Carly and her family safe, he begins to realize hes vulnerable to an unexpected kind of danger. And hes helpless to stop the freefall. As they continue working closely together, Carly and Lucas realize they may have found something more precious than gold. Yet its only a matter of time before Carly—or, worse, someone she loves—gets hurt.
