On a hunt for her family's treasure, orphaned and near penniless Emily Beauregard takes a position as an innkeeper for Jonas Tallent, Lucifer Cynster's brother-in-law, in the Devon town of Colyton. But someone else also has the Colyton treasure in their sights, and the closer Em draws to her family's legacy the greater the danger grows ... to her, her family, and the treasure she's discovered in Jonas's arms.
