A dead girl. Missing gems. Buried treasures.
Dayna never expected going home to care for her ill mother to lead her into a decades-old enigma. Haunted by a strained past and a chilling unsolved murder, she soon finds the pieces of her mother’s story laced with religion, silence, and danger.
Tanner, an undercover officer walking the line between law and truth, has his own reasons for unraveling what happened to the stolen treasures now circulating among those linked to the old foster home. When fate brings Dayna and Tanner together, they realize their separate threads are part of a much darker tapestry.
