There is only one thing more dangerous than family secrets.

Ever since the mysterious murder of her police officer husband, Eric, Carly Harris has struggled to support herself and their baby son. Her career as an antique dealer is unsustainable, and neither is her dream of becoming a novelist. So when her grandmother suggests that she and her two sisters restore the family’s large Beaufort home and turn it into a bed and breakfast, she immediately sets to work cleaning it up. In the process, she discovers a family secret that Eric has been keeping. And an heirloom that the wrong person wouldn’t hesitate to kill for.

Homicide detective Lucas Bennett hasn’t been the biggest fan of his neighbor, not since she broke his brother’s heart years ago. But when Carly asks Lucas for help, believing she’s found a lost Fabergé egg worth millions and could put her family’s lives in danger, he can’t help but get involved. They soon find themselves entangled in a mystery with threads that lead all the way to the Russian mob. Lucas is deeply involved, and though he’s confident that he can keep Carly and her family safe, he’s starting to realize that he’s vulnerable to an unexpected kind of danger. And he’s powerless to stop the spiraling downward. As they continue to work closely together, Carly and Lucas realize they may have found something more precious than gold. But it’s only a matter of time before Carly—or worse, someone she loves—gets hurt.
