Jess has always loved taking chances, but after a terrible accident, she's ready for a quieter life. No more unsuitable boyfriends or unsafe adventures. More time with Tim, her dependable boyfriend who seldom surprises her.
More time with family, like her ailing grandmother, Nancy, who wants Jess to bring home the lost vintage necklace that has been in their family for generations. The delicate moonstone pendant features a fluttering butterfly, and some say it has a history of leading its wearer to her soul mate. Jess isn't sure about that, but the necklace belongs to the Taylor women, and she's determined to bring it home.
All Jess has to do is bid on it at a local auction. But when a rival bidder outplays her and sweeps the necklace off the table, Jess finds herself face-to-face with a charming stranger who has his own reasons for wanting the necklace. He might be willing to part with it, if Jess will have dinner with him . . .
Desperate to bring back the necklace before her grandmother's health gets worse, Jess has no choice, even if her boyfriend objects. She has to bring the necklace home, no matter what it does to her own happily ever after . . .

      A family heirloom said to have magical powers disrupts a woman’s life in English writer Leaman’s heartfelt latest (after Second Chance Boutique). Jess Taylor, 30, receives a request from her grandmother, Nancy, to retrieve the family’s “True Love Necklace,” now on a London auction block. According to Nancy, each of the women who wore it in their family, over several generations, found their soul mate. At the auction house, Nancy, who already has a boyfriend, Tim, competes for the necklace with Guy Arlo Van der Meer. Sentimental Jess would spare no expense to fulfill her grandmother’s wishes, despite her older sister Aggie’s protests, but Guy outbids her on behalf of high-profile influencer Stella Weston. Jess pleads with him to sell it to her, and he offers to consider if she has dinner with him. After worrisome news about Nancy’s declining heart rate, Jess reluctantly accepts Guy’s invitation, and the two plot to retrieve it from Stella without upsetting her. Along the way, Tim and Aggie both resent her closeness with Guy, and as Nancy nears the end of her life, she wonders if she should give up her search. Readers will be moved from beginning to end.
