Publisher's summary
When Nicole visits Stiles Castle, the stately home of Lady Caroline Seaton, she doesn’t expect to stumble upon a centuries-old mystery hidden in the noble family’s genealogical tree. Once she finds that some vital details have been removed from the ancestral records, Nicole can’t refuse her friend’s plea to discover the truth and help her save the floundering family business.
Unearthing the origins of Caroline’s elusive Tudor ancestor proves trickier than Nicole anticipated, but the ancient secrets that are revealed are just as incendiary as the decades-old lies that a simple DNA test has exposed within Nicole and Kyle’s own family.
Will this be the case that changes their lives forever?

Another great read (listen)
I enjoy almost everything Irina Shapiro writes! The mystery within a mystery is so engaging. While one mystery is solved by the end of the book, the mysteries within the lives of the central characters keeps you waiting for the next book! Looking forward to the next Nicole Rayburn and Redmond and Haze.

Perfect combination of everything Irina Shapiro excels in! Not too heart-wrenching, plenty of mystery, romance and history all combined together to make it just right. Ready for Book 4... I would love a supernatural-thriller angle on Book 5, but either way I'll be waiting for it's release.

This story makes one wonder about one’s own history… will we ever know the truth?? Good intrigue in the story of the past… It does point out the harsh reality of being a woman in Tudor England. Definitely worth the read to find out the end!!
