Derek was convicted of stealing three famous paintings from the local art gallery (although they were never found) and assaulting the night guard. His best friend, Jason Marlow, made the arrest and testified against him at the trial. Jason is at the cemetery at the close of the service and Brianna spots him. She and Derek's parents are still very angry with Jason and do not hesitate to let him know they still hold him responsible for Derek going to prison.

A strange twist of fate has Jason house-sitting next door to where Brianna and her son are living. A mystical, magical aura of electrical charges is elicited every time they come in contact with each other. Brianna tries to stay away from Jason, but her life keeps getting drawn to his as she searches for answers to her questions about Derek.

Brianna does find answers in some old letters she discovers in Derek's belongings and in some drawings he sends her, through his attorney, after his death. Was Derek involved in the robbery, or not? Was there a hidden family secret in his ancestry that held the clues to why the paintings disappeared?

Revisit old friends in this Angel's Bay series as Brianna searches for the truth. There are also other developments with other familiar characters you won't want to miss. Barbara Freethy has given us another compelling story of mystery and intrigue, along with a romantic story of love, forgiveness, and faithfulness.
