A fake ancient urn.A suitor with a lot of secrets.Can Fortuna bring the truth into focus before her world cracks?When Fortuna finally accepts one of Martin Salvi’s persistent invitations to have dinner at his enormous mansion on the edge of town, she’s still not sure she can trust him. Sure, he’s handsome and yes, he had lots of reasons for ghosting her earlier this year, but she can’t help but … this year, but she can’t help but feel the handsome greyhound track manager’s still hiding something from her. Something big.
As the evening goes on, Fortuna recognizes Martin’s prized ancient urn on display just inside the lanai is a fake—and she’s shocked when Martin is barely fazed by the news. Rather than call the police, Martin convinces her they can unravel the mystery of the fake urn together…
But was Martin Salvi’s urn theft even real? Or did he just create an elaborate ruse to spend time with her?

Fortuna is not dating either, but Martine invites her to his house. He will cook her dinner. While there, there is tension between the two. Martin seems to always seem to be keeping secrets. While there Fortuna sees that an urn is not real. This turns into a real mystery.

That is just the tip of the iceberg in this story. You will drawn into the web of secrets and lies. Fortuna will learn about Martin, the town and herself. There is so much going on in. There are some big reveals. I am not going into details, not spoiling it for anyone. I highly recommend reading this. I would really like Gabe and Fortuna together, think there is better chemistry between the two.
