Everleigh Wheaton knows it only takes a few well-placed lies to ruin a reputation.
Sheâs experienced it time and again. But thereâs a silver lining to repeatedly proving herself: sheâs become confident and self-reliant.
When she loses yet another job and an enigmatic stranger offers a solution to her financial troubles, sheâs game. After all, she loves a good mystery, and the invitation to visit the legendary Halstead Manor is irresistible. But sheâs not about to let her guard down with the other women who received the same invitation.
Life has taught her that trust is dangerous.
A strange voice on the phone explains that heâs gathered the three of them to work together as treasure hunters. Their first assignment requires Everleigh to be a traveling nurse for Gertie, a retired FBI agent who has one cold case she canât let go ofâthe missing Florentine Diamond.
With Everleighâs keen ability to solve puzzles, Natalieâs vast knowledge of history, and Brookeâs connections to the antiques world, theyâre confident theyâll track down the diamond. Gertieâs nephew, Niles Butler, doesnât believe Everleigh is as innocent as she claimsâeven as he finds himself fascinated by herâand heâs determined to block every move she makes. If Everleigh canât drop her walls of self-protection, the diamond treasure wonât be the only thing sheâll lose.
