Book Synopsis

Katie Wilk is still reeling from astounding news about her late husband's history that she'd never discovered before his shockingly sudden death. She's looking forward to getting back to her students now that winter break is over, taking her mind off the difficulties of the past eighteen months. But then ZaZa Lavigne shows up, the woman who can push all of Katie's buttons, and guess what-she'll be teaching in Katie's department!

However, Katie's personal issues are quickly overshadowed when an heirloom diamond ring seems to have been switched at the jewelry store for a less valuable one and Susie Kelton, Katie's former rival for Dr. Pete's attention, comes to her for help in recovering the real ring. The questions keep compounding and Katie begins to wonder if she and Maverick will ever untangle all the puzzles.
