Unfortunately, her plans to search alone are continually thwarted by the handsome Mr. Dalton Beauchamp, nephew to her benefactress and a distraction she hadn't counted on. Despite Daphne's vows to keep Dalton at arm's length, his knowledge of numbers has Daphne doing something she never calculated - falling in love. But Daphne and Dalton learn that there's more to the puzzle than meets the eye...and someone is willing to kill to keep that secret hidden forever.
Author Biography
