Part of Lady Darby Mysteries
First published 2016
Scotland, 1831. Kiera Darby has exactly one day until she marries fellow investigator Sebastian Gage, and she is counting the hours. Then a gold Celtic torc arrives without explanation. The ancient necklace had surfaced during a recent investigation and was believed lost for decades. Kiera cannot leave it alone. She needs to know who sent it and why it has reappeared now. The timing could not be worse. Wedding guests crowd every room. A storm is building outside. A favor she owes someone comes due. Even her cat is behaving strangely. The mystery pulls at her while the wedding pulls at her from the other direction, and neither will wait. Anna Lee Huber's novella gives Kiera one last case to crack before she steps into a new chapter of her life, and the question underneath everything is not just who hid the torc but whether Kiera and Gage will actually stand together at the altar when the day finally comes.
