But can their search to uncover the truth and... set history right lead to a future together?

Review by Booklist Review

Jessamine Beauchene didn't mind asking people for help, but why did it have to be Derek Thornbury? Working as a cook at Haven Manor, Jess has done her best to avoid Derek, who has been hired to catalog and appraise the estate's art collection. However, she now needs Derek's help deciphering a diary that may hold the key to where one of Jess's ancestors hid something of great value. Not only does the fate of Jess' family rest on finding this treasure before anyone else, the political future of Jess' country of Verbonne lies in the balance as well, For the sake of her family and her country, Jess will simply have to find a way to work with Derek no matter how annoying he might be. RITA Award-winning Hunter concludes her Regency-set Haven Manor series, following A Return of Devotion (2019) and A Defense of Honor (2018), on a high note with a sweetly romantic tale that expertly mingles high-stakes treasure hunting and quieter moments of faith, family, and love.--John Charles Copyright 2010 Booklist
