Briar Dunstan thought she was arriving in Sydney to meet a new friend. Instead, she's met with a gun to her back and a stranger's voice demanding she hand over a century-old secret—one tied to her great-grandfather's mysterious past.

Forced into a perilous journey deep into the Australian outback, Briar soon joins forces with Connor Walker, an intrepid constable determined to help her unravel the truth. Together, they must navigate treacherous terrain, elude a dangerous enemy, and uncover a hidden legacy of rare opals.

But with every step closer to the truth, the stakes grow deadlier. As bullets fly and secrets unravel, Briar and Connor must rely on each other to survive—and discover whether the treasure they seek is worth the cost.

From bestselling author Kate Angelo comes a gripping short story of faith, romance, and relentless suspense that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
