Description

Oxford, 1837.
Helena Cadfield expected a quiet return from boarding school, perhaps a cup of tea and a mildly awkward family dinner. Instead, she got a funeral notice and a mystery: her father had died in Greece while digging up ancient ruins on land that once belonged to her mother.

With her inheritance reduced to academic curiosity and a pair of sturdy boots, Helena takes a job as a governess to fund a daring journey to war-torn Greece. Before leaving, she promises to return to her charming, safe, and very English suitor, Allan Murphy.

Greece is in transition, the treasure hunt is tougher than expected, and then there's Aristotle, a handsome archaeologist with opinions and a talent for making Helena forget everything she thought she wanted. Together, they dig up more than artifacts; they unearth chemistry, conflict, and possibly, love.

Helena does return to England, as promised, but finds that life at home has been busy in her absence.

With one foot in ancient Greece and the other in the drawing rooms of England, she must decide:
Does she choose the predictable future she pledged to, or the wild, uncertain one her heart won't stop chasing?

Helena's about to discover that the greatest treasure might not be buried after all.
