July 1816—Kendra Donovan could use a distraction. The FBI agent has been dealing with a serious case of cold feet after impulsively agreeing to marry Alec, the Marquis of Sutcliffe. And if that isn't enough, there is also the tantalizing possibility that maybe, just maybe she could return to her own timeline.
When Reginald Lansing, the Earl of Craymore, is found mortally wounded on the Duke of Aldridge's land, Kendra gets the distraction that she's been looking for. Lansing had been traveling with the Anahita Pink, a priceless pink diamond that can be traced to the lost treasure of King John, and has since vanished. Kendra begins to suspect that there's more to the crime than a robbery.
Certainly, Craymore's life proves to be complicated. He had his sister committed to a madhouse to prevent her from marrying a fortune hunter, and recently he'd been heard arguing with his radical cousin. Anyone who managed to get their hands on the Anahita Pink would benefit.
No one knows better than Kendra that humanity's darker impulses can cause devastating ripples. Kendra realizes that her investigation is a terrifying game of cat and mouse against a ruthless killer, who will stop at nothing to win.
