Every diamond has a story... but some are worth killing for
When Sunset Peak's legendary Peak Diamond disappears during the town's glittering centennial gala, Taylor Hunter knows one thing: this was no ordinary theft. As a renowned "Diamond Detective" and reluctant heir to a family legacy of jewel thieves, Taylor has solved high-profile cases around the globe-but this time, it's personal.
The stakes spiral when a perfect replica of the diamond is found, a notorious diamond broker turns up dead, and her twin sister Hope's fingerprints are discovered at the crime scene. With Sunset Peak's future-and her sister's freedom-on the line, Taylor must partner with the one man she swore she'd never trust: Police Chief Rocky Rockman, her ex-husband's dangerously charming best friend.
Armed with her expertise, her sharp instincts, and Glimmer, her diamond-sniffing dachshund, Taylor races to unravel a tangled web of stolen gems, buried secrets, and hidden betrayals stretching far beyond her small Arizona town. But someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried-and if Taylor's not careful, she could be their next target.
Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich, Ellery Adams, and Jenn McKinlay, The Fire Diamond is a fast-paced cozy adventure mystery where family secrets cut deep, small-town gossip hides deadly truths, and every diamond comes with a price.
