Description

Secrets are revealed and forbidden sparks ignited in this sizzling Sunrise Cove standalone, a tale of enemies to lovers, redemption, missing treasures, and love—by romance superstar and New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis.

Anna Moore didn’t just wake up one day and decide to go on a wild quest—especially since her life no longer lends itself to wild anything—so how in the world does she end up racing against the clock with Owen Harris, a sexy, enigmatic adventurist, to prove her beloved dad innocent of stealing a million-dollar necklace? 

It’s all Wendy’s fault. Her older, bossy sister, who’s seven months pregnant and on bed rest in their small Lake Tahoe hometown, is desperate to clear their departed dad’s name. Owen, though, is convinced he’s guilty as hell and wants to return the jewelry back to its rightful owner—his elderly great aunt. Together Anna and Owen go on a scavenger hunt for clues to the past (with Wendy remotely along for the ride via an earbud, supplying a running wry commentary to boot).  

On opposing sides and suspicious of each other as they are, Anna and Owen still can’t deny the inexplicable and explosive chemistry between them on this heart-stopping adventure, the outcome of which will prove the necklace isn’t the only thing stolen—their hearts have been as well.

Booklist Review

After finding a rare gold coin in their recently deceased father's belongings, private investigator Anna and her very pregnant-with-triplets, older sister Wendy, want to clear his name from accusations that he stole this coin along with the rest of a priceless collection. Owen wants to find out the truth of what happened to his ailing great-aunt's rare-coin collection, which was stolen along with a ruby necklace years earlier. Anna knows her father would never have done something like this; Owen knows that the coin is his great-aunt's. Owen is all of the things that Anna swore to herself she didn't want after being hurt by a line of bad-boy adventurers--he runs his own adventure company, for goodness' sake. As Anna and Owen pair up to find out the truth behind the stolen coins, sparks, of course, fly. This is the sixth book in Shalvis' delightful Sunrise Cove series (after The Bright Spot, 2024) set in the Lake Tahoe area, but it functions as a stand-alone.
