"My name is Jules Hooker. I have lived through a few crappy moments in my life—and with a name like Hooker, you can just imagine—but nothing, nothing, compares to the two intensely and world-shatteringly crappy things that happened to me this last June. Three, I guess, if you count Gilbert. After my boyfriend dumped me on the day I thought he was going to propose, I’d have to say two other really bad things happened last June. The first would have to be the dead body I discovered in the rental house in France where I went to get over being dumped. The second—and very possibly I should have led with this—was the dirty bomb that exploded over the Riviera throwing me and everyone else in France back to the 1950s. So now I’m stranded here—trying to make a living by solving murders the old fashioned way — without help from DNA, databases, CSI crime labs or the police. And I’m doing it in France. Where I do not speak the language. During the apocalypse. Sound like fun?"

Never hook up with a guy you hate. Especially when he’s your boss, and especially when he’s your dad’s best friend.  Sound advice, except I didn’t take it.

​

My twin sister disappeared twelve years ago.

​

Jess went missing on our way home from school. We were sixteen. Dad’s golden rule was Never walk home alone. But I was in a hurry and she was flirting with boys. She just vanished. No word. No sightings. Nothing. My family destroyed.

I blame myself. And I won’t ever give up looking for her.

​

Each year, on the anniversary of Jess’s disappearance, a bunch of flowers is delivered to our home, along with a note. Two words: I’m sorry.

It’s the only clue we’ve ever had as to what happened. Until the day I get a text: I found her.

And in my desperation to know the truth, I’m walking into a carefully-laid trap . . .

The truth about what happened to my twin is even worse than I could ever have imagined.

A quiet stone carver. A reformed flirt. A bargain that could change everything.

Keren Moon’s reputation as a flirt has earned her father’s disapproval—and an ultimatum: reform her ways or be sent away from her young brother. Determined to change, she vows to remain above reproach. But when she encounters Gryffyn Kimbrell, her resolve is tested. The reserved stone carver needs a muse for a prestigious sculpture competition, and Keren strikes a bargain: she’ll model for him if he teaches her restless brother the basics of stone carving. It’s a practical arrangement—until Keren begins to discover the quiet charm Gryffyn hides beneath his stoic demeanor.

Gryffyn Kimbrell spends his days carving headstones and hearths with his father, but his ambitions reach far beyond the ordinary, and a competition in Truro could be his chance to achieve more. Keren’s vibrant presence unsettles his carefully ordered world, but she also sparks an inspiration he never expected. As their partnership deepens, Gryffyn finds himself yearning for something more than just recognition—something as enduring as the stone he carves.

When romance isn't enough, can the God of her father--and of the man she loves--lead her to hope and healing . . . and peace?
