Will the key unlock more than a vault filled with treasure?
Brooke Sumner has been carefully avoiding Storm Whitlock ever since he betrayed her trust. When he joins Caspar's mysterious treasure-hunting group, she steps away to focus on her antique shop and keep herself busy.
Then Caspar invites her back for one final assignment, and Brooke is torn. Returning to Halstead Manor to help the team find the second half of a key is intriguing. It also means she'd be working with Storm. But she doesn't trust his motives, so she reluctantly rejoins to keep him in check.
As they dive into their expedition, Brooke finds her heart softening toward those she'd once held at arm's length. And is it possible she misunderstood Storm's betrayal of their friendship?
"In this friends-to-more romance, we get to see the beauty of being known, being loved, and finding the people who want to walk alongside us." —Toni Shiloh, Christy Award-winning author

Storm dropped far enough back in traffic that Brooke shouldn’t spot him but close enough to keep tabs on her. He’d attended today’s auction because he heard she’d be there. Ever since London, he’d been keeping an eye on her. The irony of this current situation wasn’t lost on him, and—not for the first time—he tossed questions heavenward, hoping God would answer them.
As of yet, he hadn’t.
But he had continued to place an urgency on Storm’s heart to watch out for Brooke. Storm had taken on the job of her protector at nine years old when he’d found eight-year-old Brooke crying in the closet of their foster home. Kids had been mean to her—something Storm understood all too well—and she’d found her safe space to tuck into. She was holding a pink blanket when he crawled into her hidey-hole with her. When she told him that kids like them didn’t make friends, he determined right then and there to prove her wrong.
It had been the first time he shared a song with her. “Lean on Me.” He’d sat on the floor of the closet and sang it to her. As the song finished, he promised they’d always be friends. And they had been until last year.
