As Victoria and Nathan become reacquainted in Cornwall, his efforts to unearth the jewels stolen from him in an espionage mission predating their initial meeting complicate their relationship.

The lovers' search for the missing jewels and the mystery surrounding the jewel thief's identity help propel a captivating novel sure to win more fans for D'Alessandro (Love and the Single Heiress).

Lovely
Great story! Witty dialogue, handsome hero, beautiful heroine, romance and humor. I both laughed out loud and sighed woefully while reading this book. JDA hardly ever disappoints.
