Supernatural stones. Ancient rituals. Mysterious ruins. Nothing unusual for the Hillestad siblings. Until…
Jeanette Hillestad receives news of her brother’s disappearance during his recent archaeological expedition and must travel to Kinsale, Ireland. She enlists the help of a local Irishman, Conlin Murphy, who’s adamant about staying out of her rescue mission for the safety of his teenage daughter.
But when relic hunters attack Jeanette, and Conlin discovers a map, they team up to search for her brother. The clues lead them on an international, life-threatening chase from Ireland to Old Quebec, and Montreal to New Hampshire.
While on the run, Jeanette and Conlin’s bond deepens with their undeniable attraction, which complicates matters.
Now, they need a greater force to survive the dangerous people willing to kill for the Mystery Stone. The consequences of her brother’s actions challenge their beliefs and may cost Jeanette to sacrifice everything.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars -
I loved the idea of supernatural stones, archaeology, suspense, and romance. This story was full of this, and I enjoyed the Irish background and religious aspect. Jeanette began looking for her brother and got more than she expected. She was determined, intelligent, and independent though I felt a little down on herself. Conlin was protective of his daughter as well as Jeanette, and he had been friendly to Jeanette's brother, Tom. Through danger, deadly rituals, and travel document issues, these two fell in love. I did find that there were places with too much description which took me away from the story a bit, causing it to drag somewhat. Overall, a good story.
I received a copy of this story through Xpresso Tours, and this is my unsolicited review.
