just too cute

Who would have thought of a love at first sight? How sweet that a 100 year old mystery would have awakened that much passion. Another good read and by a new author for me.

Under the same roof

Diamonds are forever is a very true statement. Just to realize the diamond was right there. Its so bad that people carry hatred for 100 years that have no justice to the current today's families. It was a blessing the family found it and not a stranger.

Alisha answers the door to the most delicious man she has ever seen, Tremaine. Turns out he is a PI for the Del Rios. He is investigating the sudden finding of the necklace.

Alisha and her siblings have decided not to say anything about the letter.

When Tremaine moves in with Alisha for two weeks, she gives him his own wing.

While he continues to investigate Alisha keeps the secret.

Will their passion for each other , which jumps from the page bring them together or tear them apart?

A fast great read as another one of the TCC stories!
