But peace is fleeting. Shadows loom and pursue her for emeralds she never knew existed. What is the secret behind the hunt for the green gemstones?

Just when she believes she's found solace, two handsome suitors threaten to unravel her vow of spinsterhood, causing Cathleen to grapple with the walls she's built around her heart. As love and danger collide, she has to decide whether risking her heart for a chance at love with the man who pursues her relentlessly is worth it or allow the ghosts of her past to keep her shackled.
