After a four-year long relationship ends with her being jilted at the altar, freelance travel writer Everly Martin is anxious to get away and dive into a new adventure. When an assignment in a sleepy Georgia town becomes available, she readily volunteers for it. Keeper Lake is everything she thought it would be and more: quaint, picturesque, full of small-town charm. But a chance meeting with a kindred spirit soon reveals that secrets lurk behind the tranquil façade. A mysterious locket may hold the key to a missing person’s case. As Everly tries to unravel the mystery she encounters a cast of quirky characters who may have some knowledge of what happened, but getting them to open up proves to be more mind-boggling than the powers behind the locket.

With the help of Houston York, a handsome Keeper Lake police officer and his friend, a well-meaning psychic, Everly tries to hunt down the answers and make sense of her growing attraction to Houston.

Can she find the answers she needs to finally solve the case before her time in Keeper Lake is up?
