What does it take to reveal the true beauty of a hidden gem?
Phoebe Von Bergen, the daughter of a German count, is excited to visit America for the first time while her father purchases sapphires in Helena, Montana. Little does she know, however, that her father’s intentions—both for her and the gemstones—are not what she thinks.
Ian Harper, a lapidary working in Helena, finds the dignified young woman staying at the Broadwater Hotel more than a little intriguing. Yet the more he gets to know her, the more he realizes that her family story is based on a lie—a lie she has no knowledge of. And Ian believes he knows the only path that will lead her to freedom.
Meeting Ian has changed everything for Phoebe, and she begins to consider staying in America, regardless of her father’s plans. But she may not be prepared for the unexpected danger that results when her family’s deception begins to unravel.
ISLAND BREEZES
Phoebe is a beautiful young lady who doesn’t have a clue that her life has been filled with secrets. Those start to unravel when she accompanies her father on a sapphire buying trip.
She thinks this will just be a routine mission for her father and a chance for her to experience America. It turns into anything but routine. While in Helena, Montana her life will be forever changed. Probably for the better, but you’ll never know if you don’t read this compelling book.
Thank you, Ms Peterson, for this book. I hate to leave Phoebe and the gang behind, but am definitely looking forward to your next book in the Sapphire Brides series.
