What happens when history doesn't stay dead? Emma's waterfront town is the perfect spot for her specialty caregiver business (when she's not a dog-walker or a dental receptionist or an origami instructor). As a masseuse and cosmetologist, Emma accesses the mansions and gated estates of the wealthiest Olde Towne residents. Not that she cares for making a million dollars. She's all about laughs and good times. When once-famous theatre songstress, Genevieve Hildebrandt, falls ill, Emma receives a heart-wrenching bequest. She neglects the inheritance until she's mugged on the street, and the attacker's demands suggest Emma is targeted. Since Miss Genevieve's death is the only change in her life, she's forced to deal with the personal gifts. Instead of a solution, she uncovers a deeper mystery, a threat reaching back into the wild twenties and thirties of Olde Towne's history.

Thankfully, she doesn't have to confront mysterious villains alone. Jayce is Emma's billionaire best friend bodyguard, a triple threat, but all she sees is her college pal. Sure he's gorgeous, but they make sense as friends. Jayce is intense and driven, wealthy CEO of True Security. He's consumed with business meetings and making the next deal. Anything beyond friendship would be impossible, crazy! The attack ignites Jayce's protective instincts and forces them into close proximity, something they both have avoided since college.

She can no longer deny her best friend is all grown up and irresistible. When the threat intensifies, they work together to uncover the villain while keeping Emma hidden with a security team. She is determined to make Jayce see her as a woman to love, but Jayce has secrets of his own. He'll protect Emma, and their friendship, no matter the sacrifice. When history comes for the present will it steal their future?
A clean, romantic mystery with light suspense set in a historic small town. If you enjoy slow-burn kisses with a twist of adventure, you will love Emma's pursuit of truth, justice, and Jayce.
