Once again, Jeff Wheeler unleashes tension and fate in this eagerly awaited sequel to the Angel Sworn series…

Polly Pepper has played to packed houses, dazzled on television, and conquered Hollywood with her wit and charm. But nothing prepares her for the drama of hosting a live antiques show in her very own English castle.

When the popular Relic or Rubbish descends on Thistlethorne Lodge, the cameras are rolling, the experts are squabbling, and Polly is ready for her close-up. Then the show’s clock specialist winds down permanently—in front of millions of viewers.

Firefighter Rob Carver and dog boarder/walker Jenny Carver married at eighteen due to an unplanned pregnancy. Being young parents of twins proved challenging, and despite their love for each other, the marriage soon dissolved.

Thirteen years later, still scarred from their divorce, neither has remarried. They share custody of their daughters and for their sakes try to get along. But they aren’t exactly close, and the tension between them is difficult to hide. Teenage twins are a handful. One of them is struggling with problems that stem from the strained relationship between the parents. It’s way past time for Jenny and Rob to change their behavior and present a united front.
