Janet Aims is finally getting rid of the last remembrance of her marriage to Banner Westfield. This necklace is just too ugly to wear anyway. And who wants to keep something that your drug-running, money-laundering ex gave you? She and her best friend Ellie visit the most prestigious jewelry store in town that handles estate jewelry. Along with this ugly necklace, she is also getting rid of her engagement and wedding rings. She knows they cost a small fortune and just wants a little redemption.

When the police show up at her door the next day, Janet cannot believe what she is hearing. The necklace belongs to a museum in Germany and was stolen over 200 years ago. It is actually over 400 years old! There were also four other pieces in the jewelry set. The police want to know where the rest of the pieces are. So does Janet! When they ask her to come down to the station for questioning, she calls the only person she can think of who might be able to help her.

Rocky Hernandez is quite a surprise to Janet when he walks into the police station wearing a three-piece suit, looking way too good. He's a friend and business partner with Ellie, and, oh yes, just happened to meet Ellie's husband, Jack, when they were in prison together. He's straight now, was actually framed, and looking oh so dangerous!

Follow this romantic escapade as Janet is run down by some Columbian drug runners' hit men, Rocky goes to visit an old Russian Mafia connection, and a petty jewel thief tries to get in on the action by kidnapping Janet. Starr Ambrose has woven another romantic suspense story that will keep you spellbound.
