Who says opposites can’t find love?
A robbery followed by the discovery of a forgery at a respected art gallery thrusts Chelsea Owens into the center of an investigation headed by Detective Sam Eldridge. The instant chemistry between the high-spirited aspiring curator and the tall, dark, brooding cop is a classic case of opposites attract.
Complications arise when Chelsea uncovers a connection to an unsolved art heist. Teaming up with Sam to find the stolen paintings ignites feelings that could lead to lasting love. But Sam isn’t ready to move beyond the tragedy in his past, no matter how promising his future with Chelsea could be...
Her emotions were in turmoil.
Chelsea was concerned about Sam’s injury. She was also excited about her feelings for him and that he’d been so open with her. Overwhelmed, she breathed deeply, fighting for control.
Sam nudged her. “Chelsea. Please don’t be upset. Whatever it is, it’s not a problem. Truth be told...” He took her hand and pulled her close to his chest, resting his head on top of hers once more. “I needed this more than I realized. I missed you and I want to start seeing you again. Are you okay with that?”
Her tears were blurring her vision and clogging her throat. Not ashamed to let him see how she was feeling, she drew back and looked at him and nodded.
“I’m glad,” he said softly, before lowering his head to brush his lips across hers.
That kiss was unlike any that Chelsea had shared with Sam before. It left her a little breathless...and more stirred by a kiss than she could remember.
The idea for A Priceless Find has been around for a while. Chelsea Owens, my heroine, first appeared in my November 2014 release, A Child’s Christmas, and she’s been clamoring for her own story ever since. Once you’ve read A Priceless Find, you’ll appreciate that if Chelsea sets her sights on a goal, she goes after it wholeheartedly! In the face of that sort of good-natured determination, I had to give in and write Chelsea’s story.
One aspect of writing A Priceless Find that I particularly enjoyed was having the famous Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist for inspiration. For those readers who are interested in learning about the actual heist, you can do so through the Gardner Museum’s website. The crime remains unsolved to date.

I hope you’ll enjoy reading Chelsea and Sam’s story as much as I did writing it!
