Summary:
Betrayal,
murder and a stolen fortune bring Elise Baxter to Cedar Bend, Michigan,
on a quest to solve a family mystery—and recover the missing treasure.
Max
Holt impulsively buys a crumbling Victorian mansion and fulfills his
dream of restoring it as a restaurant and inn. Aware of its reputation
for being haunted, he adds to the mystique by building a garden path of
old tombstones, one of which belongs to the original owner of the house,
Cyrus Mosby—the man whose legacy Elise has traced, and who allegedly
stole her ancestral share of a Colorado silver mine over a century ago.
Following
clues gleaned from old diaries and a visit from the spirit of her
great-great-grandmother, Elise seeks out Max and his inn. Not knowing if
she can trust Max with her family secret, Elise pretends her interest
is in researching Cyrus, whose own violent death remains a mystery.
An
intense attraction between Max and Elise leads him to believe she may
be the girl of his dreams. But when he discovers her true interest in
him and his inn, memories of a past betrayal threaten to end their
passionate relationship. Elise, finding herself falling in love with
Max, fears her deception may cost her more than she is willing to lose.
Once
persuaded the stolen silver is hidden somewhere in the inn, and
captivated by the idea of a treasure hunt, Max and Elise begin the
search together, aided by the resident ghosts, Cyrus and Virginia.
The
treasure hunt seems like a harmless adventure until someone tries to
steal the diaries. Unknown to Max and Elise, there are others—including
an evil presence—who are driven by greed and will stop at nothing to
unlock the mystery of the Silver Crescent.
