Joyce Peterson is an international bestselling historical fiction author, who's often accused by her friends as being a workaholic. Joyce knows finding a balance between work and leisure helps feed her creativity and ensures steady productivity.

Since happenstance often fuels her creative muse, Joyce happily accepts the role of welcome wagon and helps Avery get settled in. The more time they spend together, the more attached they become to each other.

And when the dark and dangerous secrets surrounding a lost local treasure come to light, their relationship becomes further imperiled.
