About the Book Personal care nurse Everleigh Wheaton knows it only takes a few well-placed lies to ruin a reputation. Shes experienced it time and time again. But theres a silver lining to repeatedly proving herself: shes confident, self-reliant, and knows how to take care of herself. When she loses yet another job and an enigmatic stranger offers her a potential way out, shes game. After all, she loves a good mystery, and an invitation to visit the legendary Halstead Manor is irresistible. But shes not about to let her guard down-especially with the other women who received the same invitation. A strange voice on the phone tells them hes gathered the three of them to work together as treasure hunters. The first assignment requires Everleigh to be a traveling nurse for retired FBI agent Gertrude Levine, who has one cold case she just cant let go of: the Florentine diamond that went missing when the Austrian Empire fell. With Everleighs keen ability to solve puzzles, Natalie Daughtrys vast knowledge of history, and Brooke Sumners connections to the antiques world, theyre bound to track down the diamond. Except that Gerties nephew, Niles Butler, doesnt trust Everleighs innocent act . . . even if he finds himself falling for her. Worse, Everleighs walls of self-preservation may doom the entire team.-- Book Synopsis Get ready to be awed with mesmeric prose coupled with an intriguing plot.
