Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A reunited couple search for a valuable treasure, a precious jewelry box, stolen from the Nazis and hidden away since World War II, in this powerfully emotional and romantic novel of rekindled love--perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Josie Silver, and Jill Santopolo.
Then...
Once upon a time, in a small village in southern France, a pretty, willful English girl is falling in love. Frances Langley has fallen under Benoit's romantic spell, so sure is she that he is everything she's ever wanted--a self-assured, sexy man, experienced and just a little bit mysterious. But Frances is hiding a secret--one that would surely separate them if he ever knew the truth. And to hold on to his love, she is willing to do anything for him, even put herself at risk by hiding a precious object, stolen by the Nazis decades before.
Now...
Years later, Frances's son, Harry, opens the door of his late mother's home, never expecting to see Tabitha--the lost love of his life--on the other side. Their angry parting had broken his heart, but now she holds a letter, sent by his mother just before her death, begging the pair to search--together--for a priceless jewelry box, hidden somewhere in her little Cotswold cottage.
Harry quickly dismisses the search, but as an art historian, Tabitha cannot risk the chance to recover something so valuable that was long thought to be lost. And so they embark on a journey of discovery, but soon find themselves searching for much more than a missing piece of art. Together they learn that the true riches are not those buried in the clutter of Francis's cottage, but are instead the treasures they each hold, buried deep inside their hearts.
"In the wake of his mother's death, Harry doesn't know where to start. Her house is filled to the brim with objects of every kind. As he begins to sort through the objects, he must also deal with the powerful emotions each conjures up. To complicate matters further, his ex-girlfriend, Tabitha, turns up on the doorstep clutching a letter containing instructions to help him find a priceless jewelry box hidden among the mess. How his mother received this treasure--stolen from the Nazis and hidden since the war over seventy-five year ago--he doesn't know. Harry find comfort in the search, but there are secrets in his life that prevent him from being truly happy. Tabitha has her own problems now thanks to some disastrous choices along the way. Harry is hiding from his past, Tabitha is doing her best to hide from her present, and the box contains secrets from his mother's past that have helped shape both of their lives."--Page 4 of cover.
