Havilland Smythe doesn't know what's shocked her more: The instant attraction she feels for handsome Detective Roman Fairfax or his admission she's the top suspect in the theft of a historic artifact. She's immediately intrigued, possessing a legitimate interest in the stolen work of art. The Grand Duchess Anastasia Egg is part of a collection of four jewel-encrusted eggs gifted to the daughters of the last Tsar of Russia. Finding and reuniting them in an exhibit for public enjoyment and preserving them for future generations is a professional passion. Despite Roman's ardent objections, she joins him in his search for the perpetrator and the missing egg. And in the process, she lands smackdab into an adventure of a lifetime, solving a mystery that's baffled the art community for decades and falling hopelessly in love with Roman Fairfax.
