As an empath with a painful past, Starr Davis is surrounded by a small circle of supportive—and very protective—family and friends. At the ripe old age of twenty-seven, she is ready to declare her independence. Of course, she still has a large house to look after and two businesses to run.
Then a collection of Viking artifacts is stolen. A dear friend is murdered. And an unusual inheritance propels her into the arms of her brother’s best friend.
But those arms belong to Rik Erkkilä, a respected medieval historian with reasons of his own for wanting the thousand-year-old relic.
Reluctantly joining forces to safeguard the ancient artifact, Starr and Rik are thrust straight into the path of an old enemy intent on possessing it at any cost. There’s also a desperate thief who will stop at nothing to escape detection—including committing an act of heinous betrayal.
