A stolen artifact. A reluctant thief. An heir without hope.
Would you risk your future to protect the past?
Lara did and now she's regretting it.
What's so important about a piece of musty New Zealand history and why would she bring it half way around the world just to bury it under her aunt's stairs?
As Lara hides out in the rural English back water, word gets around there's an archivist in town. The local museum needs her help. Its latest discovery in the local church reveals a shameful history and she's sworn to secrecy.
Then there's the guy next door. Brooding, rude and arrogant, he's the world's worst neighbour.
They're hardly star crossed lovers, but their fates are definitely aligned.
