Unlikely partners bound by circumstance...or by fate?

Being rescued by a good–looking, bad–boy firefighter isn't how Samantha Bennett expected to start her stay in Knights Bridge, Massachusetts. Now she has everyone's attention – especially that of Justin Sloan, her rescuer, who wants to know why she was camped out in an abandoned old New England cider mill.

Samantha is a treasure hunter who has returned to Knights Bridge to solve a 300–year–old mystery and salvage her good name. Justin remembers her well. He's the one who alerted her late mentor to her iffy past and got her fired. But just because he doesn't trust her doesn't mean he can resist her. Samantha is daring, determined, seized by wanderlust – everything that strong, stoic Justin never knew he wanted. Until now....

New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers' books have been called "riveting," "magical" and "stunningly effective." Now she returns to the lush Swift River Valley with the irresistible story of one woman's quest for treasure and redemption.

"[A] beautifully described tale that rewards readers with an intriguing mystery as well as a deliciously satisfying romance." – Library Journal on Secrets of the Lost Summer
