Supernatural stones. Ancient rituals. Mysterious ruins. Nothing unusual for the Hillestad siblings. Until…
Jeanette Hillestad receives news of her brother’s disappearance during his recent archaeological expedition and must travel to Kinsale, Ireland. She enlists the help of a local Irishman, Conlin Murphy, who’s adamant about staying out of her rescue mission for the safety of his teenage daughter.
But when relic hunters attack Jeanette, and Conlin discovers a map, they team up to search for her brother. The clues lead them on an international, life-threatening chase from Ireland to Old Quebec, and Montreal to New Hampshire.
While on the run, Jeanette and Conlin’s bond deepens with their undeniable attraction, which complicates matters.
Now, they need a greater force to survive the dangerous people willing to kill for the Mystery Stone. The consequences of her brother’s actions challenge their beliefs and may cost Jeanette to sacrifice everything.

Jeanette goes to Ireland in search of her brother, to find he is above his neck in trouble and her, the man he was renting a room from and his teen daughter get embroiled in the danger and mystery as well. A bit of romance emerges between them.
I liked having a strong female lead, but at times I felt it was a bit over the top, and both her and Conlin got upstaged by his teen daughter. I absolutely loved her.
I also felt like there was just a bit too much description that distracted from the plot, mystery and romance. Speaking of which I’d liked to have seen more of the romance. It wasn’t a bad story at all I just felt it was a bit long.
If you like a good, clean, sweet, romance, with mystery and humor and beautiful settings this is for you.
