Maggie Garrison is the owner of a flower shop in British Columbia and she has one heck of a problem. Her beloved antique desk from her deceased grandmother has been stolen, she is being blackmailed by an evil antique dealer, and she has a deadline to deliver the desk key to her blackmailer before consequences are levied. To top it all off, in order to get the key, Maggie must steal it from Jake McAllister, an old flame entrusted by Maggie’s nana to protect the key. Maggie and Jake’s one-night relationship ended on bad terms, but she has never forgotten their heated tryst. As Maggie seeks to recover the key, she is pulled further into a mystery and into partnership with Jake McAllister, who is now a handsome lawyer and still harbors a burning passion for her. Maggie’s friends and family reveal long-kept secrets, and a family inheritance beyond anything she could have imagined. Fast-paced chases, blackmailing villains, family secrets, and a simmering romance propel Maggie into a covert and exciting life that is far-removed from her days in the flower shop.

This book was a fantastic read, which I had a difficult time putting down. It was fast-paced, fun, and the author has a knack for plot and character development. The local setting provides texture against a thrilling caper-driven central storyline. By the end of the book, the reader feels a connection and compassion for the main characters and their predicaments. The sexual tension and chemistry is well crafted throughout the book—these characters have a history, and the unspoken sentiments between them are palpable. It was a treat to read- M Radford
