With both of their lives in danger as the ruby remains at large,
James squires Camille away to the Bentworth School, believing that would be the
last place her pursuers would look for her. They both find their hearts and
dreams heading in a new direction, but before they are free to embrace their
future they must solve the mystery looming around them. The more they uncover,
however, the harder it becomes to know whom to trust. And they begin to realize
that recovering the ruby may require a great sacrifice: their newfound love and
maybe even their lives.
Born into two different classes, James and Camille shouldn’t even
know each other. But when the pursuit of a missing ruby brings them together,
much more than a mere acquaintance is ignited.
The daughter of a curiosity shop owner, Camille would never be
considered a lady. Nor does she want to be. With a fiery personality, she
dreams of adventures far beyond the walls of her family’s modest business. But
when her father thrusts a mysterious box into her hands and disappears, her
whole world – dreams and all – shifts.
James is an apothecary, tending to the health needs of the town of
Bentworth. His father, a well-known explorer and collector, is quite wealthy
from the spoils of his adventures until one risky gamble and a stolen gem leave
him on the edge of ruin. Seeking his father’s approval, James picks up the hunt
for the stolen ruby, leading him to the door of Camille’s curiosity shop.

In the new novel by the three-time Christy Award-winning author of The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, a woman’s startling secrets lead her into unexpected danger and romance in Regency England…
One
final cry…“God almighty, help
us!” and suddenly her world shifted violently, until
a blinding collision scattered her mind and shook her bones. Then, the pain.
The freezing water. And as all sensation drifted away, a hand reached for hers,
before all faded into darkness…
Now she has awakened as though from some strange, suffocating dream in a warm and welcoming room she has never seen before, and tended by kind, unfamiliar faces. But not all has been swept away. She recalls fragments of the accident. She remembers a baby. And a ring on her finger reminds her of a lie.

But
most of all, there is a secret. And in this house of strangers she can trust no
one but herself to keep it.
