This book tells the story of Mia Crane, a lonely but talented young graphic artist from a dysfunctional family, who receives an unexpected inheritance that brings her back to the small town of her paternal heritage, into the orbit of the large and exuberant Lyons clan, and most importantly into the life of playboy architect Drake Lyons. For the first time in her life she has a place that is truly her own and a chance for a new beginning, but there are those who, for a variety of reasons, do not want Mia staying in Waterford. Dealing with occult rumors concerning her deceased great aunt, an urban legend of Confederate gold hidden in her newly acquired house, and the jealousy of other women with designs on the new man in her life, Mia’s decision to stay is fraught with questions and with potential dangers. The story asks whether the woman who has never been loved and the man who has never been in love can find happiness together in Waterford, and what treasures are worth risking everything for.
