In this is the second book in the series that began with
A Beautiful Disguise, Gemma Parks is living only half a life as a fashion columnist and an independent woman. Inside she is harboring a pain so deep, she dare not let it come to the surface. Graham Warton's life is empty except for his work as a restoration architect. His memory of Gemma and the life they lost haunts him daily. The only connection the estranged couple share is their secret work for the Imposters detective agency. When a case involving a missing boy brings them both to the same Christmas house party, they at first try to avoid each other. But fate is having none of it, and being thrown together under dangerous circumstances forces them to face the bitter truth and grief that has been keeping them apart and stealing their happiness.
It was nice to go back to one of White's historical novels again. I was reminded why she is one of my favorite Historical Christian Romance writers. She doesn't shy away from what the grief does to a person, but the reader is sure that the main characters will ultimately work it out through their faith. This is also a mystery, and the plot is reasonably well crafted. If someone is looking for good books in this genre, Roseanne M. White is always one of the first authors I recommend. As an added bonus, this is also a good Christmas read as the story takes place over the Christmas holidays. (2024, 352 p.)
