Ella Wilcox wants one thing and one thing only—to find the men who murdered her father, antique jewelry restorer Frederick Wilcox. As eight-year-old Ella cradled her dying father’s body, she vowed to take her revenge. With only a handful of photographs documenting her father’s stolen gem collection, Ella uses her skills as a gem historian to access the vaults of the rich and powerful. If only she could peek inside the most spectacular vault of all—the one belonging to the impossibly wealthy Cherbourg family.

Sébastien Cherbourg IV wants one thing and one thing only—to regain his place at the head of his family’s empire. After a public split with a gold-digging fiancée, Sébastien’s family has lost confidence in his decisions. To earn their respect once more, he’s arranged a magnificent exhibition of his family’s legendary jewel collection. Unfortunately for him, Ella is the only woman who can sign off on the insurance paperwork.

But when someone steals the gems right out from under them, Ella and Sébastien are thrown together in a desperate race to catch a thief. But this thief has secrets—secrets he’ll kill to protect.

As danger ignites their uncontrollable passion, Ella and Sébastien discover that nothing is quite what it seems. A family’s deadly heritage is revealed. A trusted friend becomes a traitor. And a dangerous secret threatens to shatter any chance they have for happiness together...if they live long enough to try.
