A high-society summer. A missing ring. A romance put to the test.
Henrietta Von Harmon thought accepting Inspector Clive Howard's proposal was the hard part—until she discovers he's heir to a North Shore fortune and she's expected to spend the summer at his family's sprawling Winnetka estate. While Clive returns to an important case in Chicago, Henrietta must navigate the treacherous waters of high society under the withering gaze of his mother, who clearly thinks her son could do better.
