Imogen Tewksbury leads a calm and well-ordered life. The eldest of five sisters, she is trustworthy, responsible, and spends most of her time working at the family bookshop; however, she’s always harbored a secret wish to become a detective. When she receives an invitation to meet her favorite mystery author at a neighbor’s dinner party, she is overjoyed. Swept off her feet by the author’s charm and good looks, she’s instantly enamored, but when his life is threatened, she vows to do whatever she can to bring the perpetrator to justice. Detective Harvey Price has known author Sturgis Cleveland for most of his life, and he isn’t swayed by either his fame or large bank account.

As the case grows more complicated, she’s dismayed to discover the existence of secrets much closer to home, secrets that threaten her relationships with those she loves most. And as she and Detective Price grow closer, she begins to realize that love doesn’t need to be flashy or extravagant to be real. Honesty, loyalty, and steadfast faith may be the foundation of a love beyond anything she’s ever dreamed.
