The Rare Jewel of Everleigh Wheaton

Everleigh Wheaton knows it only takes a few well-placed lies to ruin a reputation.

She’s experienced it time and again. But there’s a silver lining to repeatedly proving herself: she’s become confident and self-reliant.

When she loses yet another job and an enigmatic stranger offers a solution to her financial troubles, she’s game. After all, she loves a good mystery, and the invitation to visit the legendary Halstead Manor is irresistible. But she’s not about to let her guard down with the other women who received the same invitation.

Life has taught her that trust is dangerous.

A strange voice on the phone explains that he’s gathered the three of them to work together as treasure hunters. Their first assignment requires Everleigh to be a traveling nurse for Gertie, a retired FBI agent who has one cold case she can’t let go of—the missing Florentine Diamond.

With Everleigh’s keen ability to solve puzzles, Natalie’s vast knowledge of history, and Brooke’s connections to the antiques world, they’re confident they’ll track down the diamond. Gertie’s nephew, Niles Butler, doesn’t believe Everleigh is as innocent as she claims—even as he finds himself fascinated by her—and he’s determined to block every move she makes. If Everleigh can’t drop her walls of self-protection, the diamond treasure won’t be the only thing she’ll lose.
