"Gracie Miller is a small-town girl who has landed her dream job in New York City. As jewelry designer for one of the most prestigious jewelers in the world, she completed a particularly stunning piece, a custom setting for a large pink diamond. But when her billionaire client Mrs. Katsaros comes to repair a minor issue with the setting, Gracie is horrified to realize it is not the ring she created. Someone has forged her design, and the priceless diamond is gone. Mrs. Katsaros has no desire to bring media attention to the jewelry heist, so she recruits her nephew, Quinn, and his FBI agent friend, Steve, to do some sleuthing off the record. When they discover that the missing ring is just one of many forgeries in the widow's collection, they look to Gracie for help. They need her to act the part of Quinn's fiancée. From the lights of New York to the shimmering islands of the Mediterranean, Gracie is swept into a thrilling hunt. But amid the search for the elusive thief, she and Quinn find themselves increasingly distracted by their growing feelings for each other. What neither realizes is how close the danger lies and how serious the vendetta is--because, apparently, it is worth killing for."--Publisher description.

I actually requested this one on NetGalley because of the stunning cover. I'm always skeptical about new authors from publishing houses I have little experience with, and this one was a definite winner! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough as Gracie and Quinn race (literally around the world) to figure out who's stealing high-end jewelry. There are so many layers in this mystery with all the different people required for the crime and I loved how they got peeled back a little at a time.
I found the romance to be very believable and often even humorous, and it was easy to root for this couple to realize they needed to be together permanently.
Squeaky clean and though written by an LDS author it doesn't contain any LDS theology. (Important to me as an evangelical reader) I'll definitely be picking up more books by this author!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free reading copy. A favorable review was not required.
