AJ Moore's life crumbled with the unexpected death of her beloved father and mentor. Her reporting career stalled, her love-life non-existent, and a family filled with more conflict than love, she relies on her best friend to survive cheerless days in the small town of Bayside, Oregon. When a 200-year-old ship materializes through the fog, inspiration strikes. AJ sets out to unravel its mystery, but her investigation is hampered by the ship's single passenger - the enigmatic sea captain.

AJ Moore’s life comes down to one thing - discover the secret of the ancient stones to find her way home. Unfortunately, her journey is far from over. The stones now reside in the hands of Finn Murphy’s most cunning enemy, the Duke of Dunsmore. Against a formidable foe, AJ and her new team of friends pursue a risky plan to steal the stones and the book that may reveal their secret. If successful, the mission prevents a madman from coming into unimaginable power while providing AJ an end to her long struggle.

AJ Moore’s life has changed - drastically. And her lover, Captain Finn Murphy, refuses to explain how that happened. His only concern is to hand over an ancient necklace, and the stone within it, to his worst enemy, Beckworth. The fact the stone can return AJ to the only life she knows seems of no importance to him.

Everyone believes Beckworth, the Viscount of Waverly, to be a man with no regrets, because he’s hidden the pain of who he’d become when trying to win his father’s favor. Stella Caldway sees the real man behind the mask—a loyal man who would drop anything to help a friend in need. His only fault lay in seeking acceptance from a man who didn’t possess the ability to give it.

One book holds the secrets of the stones, but to protect it, the book was split into four sections. Three of the chronicles were spread far and wide. It’s time to put the pieces together. The team splits up in a race to find the chronicles before Gemini finds them. Beckworth lives by one rule—keep his promises. And he promised Stella he’d take her to AJ. But Stella was kidnapped again, and he’ll put everything aside to fulfill his promise. Find Stella and get her home. The book be damned.

Though AJ came back, each time stronger than the last, Stella had no illusions on her own chance of survival had it been her that greeted the mist. Nope.
